2018 Louis Terral Einar Chardonnay
The 2018 Louis Terral Einar is a delightful 100% sparkling Chardonnay.
There is new blood in Bugey and he comes by the name Louis Terral. Louis recently settled in the historic stronghold of Mérignat making wines that are truly unique for the region. There is not a sweet nor sparkling wine in sight instead, Louis is making enigmatic examples of still dry Gamay from a selection of steep vineyards in the hills surrounding. He draws upon his years of experience working for the likes of Julie Balagny, Jean Louis Dutraive and Philippe Valette to make wines that truly stand out. Louis is a superstar in the making, doing everything by hand and not taking a single short cut resulting in pure, ethereal examples of mountain Gamay.

FAQ
What is natural wine?
The philosophy of natural wine is one of minimal-intervention, from vineyard to cellar. Natural wines are made using quality grapes, generally grown using organic and biodynamic practices, however vineyards may not always be certified as such due to the restrictive nature of these certification systems. Natural wines in most cases won't be filtered or fined, processes which generally involve the use of animal products.
Are your wines vegan friendly?
In almost all cases yes! Generally if you see "unfiltered and unfined" this will be an assurance that no animal products have been used in the process. The fining process is where conventional winemakers will often use egg and fish products (yep pretty gross) to remove sediment from wines. The sediment is natural, healthy and adds flavour so natural wine makers almost always leave some of it in.
Are your wines chemical free?
Yes, we only stock wines that use grapes grown using biodynamic or organic farming methods and will have none of the over 200 additives that can be found in conventional wines, *with the occasional exception of a tiny amount of sulphur. Some organic winemakers choose to add a small amount of sulphur (SO2) to ensure their wines travel better and last longer.
