WHY WE LOVE THEM
WE ARE SO FREAKING EXCITED TO FINALLY BRING YOU THESE SHOW STOPPING WINES. We have long been utterly and fully charmed by the powerfully delicious wines of Laurent Saillard. Light, etherial and endlessly complex. Prepare to be swept off your feet.
INNOVATIVE EXPERIMENTS
Laurent Saillard is a Frenchman turned NYC chef and restaurateur who returned to France to make the wines he loved. He settled in the tiny town of Pouillé, an hour east of Tours. There he was mentored by the great Noella Morantin who helped him make wine, refurbish an old winery and connect with the village’s fantastic growers. Connect he did. When he was offered half of Catherine and Didier Barouillet’s famed Clos Roche Blanche vineyard in 2014, he jumped at the chance. These powerful, old, organic vineyards on limestone tell an incredible story. The wines get better every year we taste them and they were pretty freaking great from year one. We have followed these wines for years and years and fought hard to get a small allocation at this year’s Dive Bouteille in Saumur this past February 2020 aka our last trip in the before times.
