The name essentially means a toast "to us" in French — a toast between friends, and a perfect summary of what this wine is for.
Andrea Calek's most accessible red from the southern Ardèche: Grenache and Syrah, no sulphites, nothing added, nothing removed. Andrea Calek is Czech-born, trained under natural wine legend Gérald Oustric at Domaine du Mazel, and has farmed his 5 hectares in Alba-la-Romaine completely chemical-free since 2007. His partner Stephana Nicolescu joined the project in 2016, and together they run one of the most honest small estates in the Ardèche.
What is Andrea Calek's À Toi Nous?
À Toi Nous is fermented in tank and bottled young, designed for sharing rather than cellaring. It's Calek's most approachable cuvée — a red to open on a Tuesday with zero agenda.
As delicious as this wine is, please note this zero zero wine should be drunk in one sitting, as it will become unstable if left opened for another time.
This scrumptious light red is a rush of ripe red berry fruit, a breath of warm southern garrigue, and a finish that makes you immediately pour another. Think summer in a glass, southern France bottled without ceremony.
Notes of unripe plum, clove, raspberry, anise and the softest white pepper touch and mild tannins. DELICIOUS.
Just finish in one sitting
Serve slightly cool. No occasion needed.
