Caroline 2020 is a natural wine crafted by Patrick Desplats, in the Loire region in France. This white wine is made with 100% Chenin Blanc, taken from vines over 100 years old, which have never seen chemicals. Directly pressed an aged in Amphora.

Patrick Desplats is quite an icon of the natural wine scene, having started Domaine Des Griottes in 1999 with Sébastien Dervieux of Domaine des Babass joining in 2001. The two went their seperate ways in 2011, with quite different styles and an alleged disagreement over whether to plough the soil or not, and disagreements on using tractors Vs horses.


Patrick makes wines in Qvevri Amphora buried in the ground, and like  Sébastien Dervieux is strictly zero-zero in the approach to sulphites.


Patrick Desplats is quite a character, avoiding fuel, meditating for hours on end in the sun, living in a unelectrified 2m squared shack next to the vines and Qvevri garden to be as close to wild nature as possible, joined by cats and armed with a unique vision to his winemaking process not commonly found in France, but more Georgia. For example, he is known to train some of his vines up trees. He no longer works with an actual winery, but lives and works outside, amongst the vines using Qvevri amphora to work without the need for electricity.


These VERY RARE, super low quantity wines are low alcohol, wild, vibrant and often with elements of Volatile Acidity, so be aware of this before you buy.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.
