Gélinette is an old French word for grouse, a bird you used to find wild quite a lot in this part of Anjou, especially when polycultural agriculture was still conducted. Historically Mark made a little bit of red, mostly from cabernet sauvignon planted in 2000 but the wines were always quite rustic and tannic, so he decided to overgraft them and plant more grolleau, a grape fallen in disgrace and considered of poor quality for complex wines. Mostly linked to bad, high-yielding clonal selection dedicated to the production of cheap rosé in the 1970s and 80s, grolleau noir, an indigenous variety, can in fact produce beautiful reds with right massales vines and low crop. If you are a gamay of terroir freak, you will love grolleau on schist. Once called “Jeunes Vignes des Gélinettes”, the cuvée is now just names “Gélinettes” as the vines got older and are grolleau-dedicated. In 2018, the grapes were hand-destemmed – with a wicker basket, macerated for 3 weeks and aged in large tank. La Sansonnière’s reds don’t have historically the same refinement than the white, but the touch of Martial and Bruno can be felt these last years: this Gélinette from a dense, low-yielding vintage, has an enticing, velvety texture with just a little grippy final calling for fatty fish or meat. You can slightly chill it with no problem. To be enjoyed in the next 5 to 10 years. 0g RS, 0 ppm total of volcanic sulfur. Pascaline Lepeltier, maart 2021
