Northern Rhône // France

L'Effrontée means 'the stubborn' because the cuvée comes from a plot that experienced two consecutive frosts, resulting in smaller grapes but determined to prove itself. A blend of 60 % Viognier, 20 % Marsanne, 10 % Roussanne, 10% Cugnette, this wine has a superb balance. Fresh pear with a delightful texture with the right amount of velvety richness.

A wine that manages to be both a gastronomic and an apéritif wine.
About the Producer

Suspended at an altitude of 450m, the vines of Hameau Touchebœuf grow on the hillside, amidst wild grasses without pesticides. It is here, where the Rhône Valley meets the landscapes of the Pilat Natural Park, that Simon Gastrein makes his wine as he builds his estate. Intuitively. Simply. By letting the terroir, the seasons, and his whims express themselves freely. A trained chef, he spent his youth in the vineyards and forged his palate with a wine-loving grandfather. He went far away to South America before returning to learn on the job. Based in Bessey, Loire since 2017 he creates wines that reflect his personality: unfussy but not without manners. Intuition led him to plant Marsanne and Roussanne alongside Viognier, Gamay, and Syrah, a total of 7 hectares of vines. In 2022, Simon and his friends created his trading company Maison Troupeau to diversify his range by purchasing grapes from his winegrower friends, who, of course, have the same respect for the vines and the soil as he does, and thus vinify in his own way. Natural wines without added sulfites, fresh and fruity!
