ASHWIN'S REFLECTION:

If you couldn’t guess from the label, Thibault is an avid cyclist in addition to being a talented winemaker. He is the son of a viticulturalist and grew up in and around the vines. In 2019, he purchased his first parcel of land and hasn’t looked back. He practices organic farming, and the winemaking is minimalist and respectful: hand harvesting, carbonic maceration, indigenous yeast fermentation, no fining or filtering, and minimal sulfur at bottling only if necessary.
