Marie Thibault Grolleau

Marie Thibault “Le Grolleau” – Touraine, Loire

A soulful, quietly electric red from one of the Loire’s most beloved natural winemakers, Le Grolleau showcases the grape’s playful, spicy character through Marie Thibault’s signature gentle touch. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Azay le Rideau (where Grolleau was allegedly first planted in the Loire) and vinified with minimal intervention, this is Grolleau at its most expressive - light, lively, and irresistibly drinkable.

The nose is fragrant and lifted, with notes of crushed red berries, sour cherry, violets, and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, Le Grolleau is juicy and feather-light, offering bright acidity, ultra-soft tannins, and a refreshing, almost thirst-quenching finish. A subtle earthy edge adds depth without taking away from the wine’s breezy charm.
