Les Athlètes du Vin is a project from a group of winemakers in the Loire Valley who focus on producing value-driven wines that express the regional terroir. The 2022 Grolleau is a light, aromatic red, crafted entirely from the Grolleau grape, which is often used for making fresh, fruit-forward wines.

  • Winemaker: Les Athlètes du Vin collective, part of the Vini Be Good group
  • Farming: Sustainable, with a focus on organic practices
  • Variety: 100% Grolleau
  • Terroir: Sourced from 60-year-old vines growing on silty clay and blue schist soils in the Loire Valley
  • Vinification: Carbonic maceration followed by aging in concrete tanks for about 6 months, enhancing freshness and bright fruit flavors
  • Tasting Note: Fresh red berries such as strawberries and cherries dominate, with herbal undertones. Light-bodied with soft tannins, it’s a wine best enjoyed slightly chilled. This wine is perfect for casual sipping or pairing with light summer dishes like charcuterie or savory pies.
  • Alcohol: 12.5%
