Big Bunch Theory 'Fresh Impression' Red 2023

Patrice Béguet's Big Bunch Theory 'Fresh Impression' Red 2023 is the red sibling of Fresh Impression White. Same philosophy as the white, high quality fruit sourced from producers Patrice trusts across France, blended at his Jura cellar, with the label painted by Aya Sato. Different grapes, same spirit of cross-regional experimentation. Here with Fresh Impression Red he uses Grenache, Gamay plus a little Mourvedre and Ploussard

What grapes are in Big Bunch Theory Fresh Impression Red?

60% Grenache from Claude Ughetto in Provence, 30% Gamay from Domaine Landron Chartier in Loire, and 10% of other varieties including Poulsard and even Mouvedre.

 No added sulphites at any stage. 

We have not yet tried this wine but we hear the Grenache brings warmth and dark cherry; the Gamay brings freshness, lift, and a lively energy that stops the wine from ever feeling heavy. Together people say they make something genuinely easy to drink without being simple. Red and dark berry fruit, a touch of spice, and a bright, clean finish. This is the kind of red you open mid-week with no ceremony at all.
