Domaine Grosbois - Chinon - Extra Ball 2023

Extra Ball is a natural wine from the domaine Grosbois, full of fruit. This natural organic wine develops on notes of red fruit, blackcurrant. On the palate, this wine is very round, not very tannic and super lovable with a low alcohol percentage.

The domaine Nicolas Grosbois is asserting itself as a sure bet in Chinon: it offers a range of organic wines of fine quality. In particular, we like the cuvée "La cuisine de ma mère", supple, fruity and airy, a fine representative of Loire wines.Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2020 : "The homogeneous gentle slopes of the Panzoult commune are composed mostly of millarge, yellow quartz sands on which cabernet franc produces chinons that are less tannic than on largilo-calcaire. This sunny terroir needs to be dramatized," explains Nicolas Grosbois, who joined the family domaine in 2008 after ten years as a flying winemaker. From New Zealand and Chile, this thirty-something returned inoculated against wood. He vinifies and raises his reds in vats only. Nicolas Grosbois is also associate manager at Domaine des Hauts Baigneux (Azay-le-Rideau). We award him our first star.
