Beaujolais, France

Romain is based in Saint-German, Beaujolais. Like most of his wines it is bottled essentially as a primeur, but tends to settle and develop in the bottle to something more composed. His calling card recently has been his phenomenally successful alcohol free (call it Soft Drink;-) L'Antidote, a blend of Gamay juice, botanicals, apple and ginger. Based on the profile of his unusual 6% off dry Pet Nat Petit Coin De Paradis, it is a brilliant creation. 

Romain is a hard working and creative winemaker, skilled and intuitiv, but not tied to any pre-concieved ideas of what wine should be. Every year he makes inventive, often remarkable wines that challenge and thrill in equal measure.
