"What is 'glou-glou'??"

Simply put, the phrase “glou-glou” is meant to evoke the sound of liquid (in this case, wine) pouring rapidly out of a container, or down your throat.

2021 La Croix Gratiot | "Les Raisins d'Abord" | Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Situated between Bassin de Thau and hills of pines, the vineyard of La Croix Gratiot is on the village of Montagnac. The vines planted on a loamy-limestone soil profit from the marine trade winds and the scents of the scrubland. This microclimate allows the grapes to reach an optimal maturity and to fully express the typicity of the grapes varieties during the different process of winemaking. The estates produce AOC Languedoc Picpoul de Pinet and IGP Pays d'Oc.

Yves and Hugues own the vineyard for 25 years, and decided in 2004 to create the winery. Since 2007, their daughter Anaïs Ricome oversees the team for winemaking and sale of wine. (Importer)

Crystalline color with silver highlights. Pleasant and joyful nose, evoking a collection of yellow fruits, a bouquet of white flowers, a handful of verbena and a share of frangipane. The mouth is round on the attack, and unfolds a nice tannic relief on the finish. (Winery) @laxgratiot

2020 Domaine Jean-Baptiste Duperray | "Glou-glou" Beajolais-Villages | Beaujolais, Burgundy, France

"I joined my father in 2013 in our estate. We work together and share our point of view to create well balanced wines. I believe in our grape variety, the Gamay, which is ideal for fruity and fresh wines. We practice a sustainable farming. We deploy a lot of energy for the reorganization of our vineyard: the renewal of old parcels, modern plantations…" (Winemaker)

Red garnet robe with purple highlights. Nose displaying grapey notes with red berries and a touch of spice. Very fresh, fruity in the palate with a nice acidity in the finish. (Winery)

This is the perfect summer red!!
