About the Producer
Romain des Grottes is one of the true originals of the natural wine world. Based in the rolling hills of Beaujolais near Saint-Étienne-des-Oullières, he produces vibrant, living wines that challenge conventions while remaining irresistibly drinkable. His wines are bubbly, slim, joyful and radically original, made from Gamay and unusual hybrids. Beyond wine, Romain also grows cereals, makes beer and non-alcoholic creations, and famously brings a piano on wheels into the vineyards during harvest and the Bojalien festival.

Our Take
Glou-glou alert. Chill it slightly and watch the bottle disappear.
