Sébastien David "Couple Goals" Vin de France, Loire Valley, France 2024

FROM T. EDWARD:

THE WINE: “Couple Goals” is a blend of two different regions to get the best of each terroir and reach a specific balance. The Chenin comes from Parnay (near Saumur) and the Chardonnay from Pont du Gard, in Ardèche (part of the Rhône Valley)

THE PRODUCER: Sebastien David, an ardent supporter of biodynamic viticulture, established Domaine Sebastien David, a 12-hectare winery nestled in the heart of France's Loire Valley. Coming from a lineage of winemakers, Sebastien's vision was to craft wines that truly captured the essence of the Loire Valley's terroir, highlighting the distinct qualities of Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc grapes. Central to his winemaking philosophy is the belief that harmonious interaction with nature is paramount in creating exceptional wines. This principle is reflected in his practice of biodynamic viticulture, where he employs natural preparations and follows a lunar calendar to ensure the vines thrive in a healthy and balanced environment.
