Les Vignes de Babass, Brutal Agnes 2023 MAGNUM

Producer:Les Vignes de Babass
Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Style: White
Alc.: 11%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: Babass and Agnes lost a lot of their 2023 harvest, so this is a blend from two plots. Direct press, and aged in underground tanks on the lees for 10 months. Lithe and zesty, with a touch of golden opulence at the end. This is a thirst-quenching delight.

Producer: Les Vignes de Babass
Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Grolleau
Style: Red
Alc.: 12%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: From a 0.8ha plot planted in 1955, this is a blend of 2022 and 2023, after a couple of poor harvests. Distinctly Cabernet Franc on the nose and at first taste, this opens up beautifully with delicate, floral fruit. We’re thrilled to have this back!

Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Grolleau
Style: Red
Alc.: 11.5%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: From a 1.34ha plot planted between 1958-60. A very different wine to the 2023 vintage! This is very fruit forward with lots of brambly, hedgerow notes, with a spiced and savoury backbone. An easy-drinking delight!

Grapes: 55% Grolleau, 45% Gamay
Style: Red
Alc.: 10%
Size: 150cl bottle
Notes: MAGNUM A new cuvée from Babass and his partner Agnes. This is from two plots, both planted in the late 1950s. This is everything we love about Anjou reds: light, almost thin texture, with fine powdery tannins, and lots of green spice.

Alc.: 9%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: A classic from Babass and Agnes. From a plot planted in the late 1950s. This vintage showcases everything we love about Grolleau: delightfully refreshing, almost violet in its aromatics, delicate fruit, and thoroughly easy-drinking! This does have a touch of spritz upon opening.

Notes: From a 0.7ha plot planted between 1959-60. This is everything we want from an Anjou Gamay: bloody, savoury, with a lightness of touch but still lots of complexity. Simply delicious.
