{"title":"Jérôme Saurigny","description":"\u003cp\u003eJérôme is part of a community that took shape organically in the early 2000s in the Loire Valley. A group of young, nature-driven, often first-generation winemakers devoted to natural wine. They work long days in the vineyards and cellars, living simply and supporting one another when needed. Ideas are shared freely, yet each ultimately follows his\u0026nbsp;own independent path toward authentic, low-intervention winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eJérôme Saurigny studied oenology in Bordeaux before working as a cellar master in Pomerol. A chance encounter with Patrick Desplats and Sébastien Dervieux (better known as Babass) profoundly transformed his vision of wine. He went on to spend several years at Domaine des Griottes, one of the pioneering estates of natural wine in Anjou, founded by Babass and Desplats and known for its uncompromising philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eIn 2005, Jérôme left behind the conventions of classical Bordeaux to begin farming 6.5 hectares by horse and plough. His vineyards focus primarily on the Loire’s native varieties: Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Grolleau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eFollowing several devastating frosts, Jérôme began experimenting with co-fermenting different grape varieties, pushing beyond traditional distinctions between white and red wines. He frequently employs a technique inspired by Daniel Sage known as “flottation,” in which whole bunches are submerged directly into freshly pressed juice, an inventive variation on carbonic maceration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1749\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eJérôme is also renowned for his sweet wines, crafted from Chenin Blanc in the spirit of Coteaux du Layon. Producing sweet wine without added sulfur is widely considered nearly impossible, at least on paper. But for Jérôme, it is not only possible, it is essential to his philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jer-me-saurigny-biclir-2022","title":"Jérôme Saurigny Biclir 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHe decided to turn the remaining grapes into a cuvée, creating the Biclir, which includes all the estate’s grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grolleau, and Gamay. Each variety was processed separately, mostly using flotation (clusters and\/or berries soaked in press juice) and, for some, extended skin contact over several months. The wines were aged in fiberglass tanks and multiple-use oak barrels. The result is a vibrant, airy red wine bursting with energy, featuring tropical fruits, floral notes, and layers of deep, nuanced flavors.
