'Babylone' Du Vin aux Liens 2021

The 'Babylone' by Du Vin aux Liens is a pure Pineau d'Aunis red, a noble indigenous grape variety of the splendid Loire region. This light and drinkable wine are the result of the passionate work of Vanessa Letort, a young producer who decided to embrace her passion for winemaking in 2014. The encounter with Philippe Chigard, a passionate winemaker and mentor, inspired Vanessa to give life to Du Vin aux Liens, a natural wine company that embraces Alsace and the Loire, where winemakers, farmers, artisans, and enthusiasts can enjoy producing wines and ciders. Conceived by the Red Table cellar for the Du Vins aux Liens project, 'Babylone' is a fresh, floral, and slightly spicy carbonic maceration wine.

In this French territory, 35-year-old vines on red clay soil give birth to the 'Babylone' of Du Vin aux Liens. Its vinification takes place through spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a 15-day carbonic maceration, followed by 10 months of aging in steel. This artisanal approach gives the wine a unique lightness and freshness, enhancing its distinctive characteristics.

In appearance, the 'Babylone' presents itself with a light red color with coppery reflections, on the nose, fragrant aromas of fresh plum, blueberries, violets, and an elegant touch of pepper emerge. On the palate, the wine reveals itself juicy and fairly persistent, with a silky texture that envelops the palate in a whirlwind of pleasure. This aromatic red is ideal for accompanying light yet refined dishes, such as quality raw fish, offering a truly satisfying gastronomic experience. 'Babylone' is a journey through the wonderful landscapes and flavors of the Loire, a testament to the passion and dedication of Du Vin aux Liens towards the world of wine.
