If you know Domaine des Sablonnettes, you know Christine and Joël Ménard (and now their son Jérémy) make some of the most joyful natural wine in the Loire from their 13 biodynamic hectares in Rablay-sur-Layon.
Les Copines Aussi is the sister wine to their beloved Les Copains d'Abord: Gamay with a touch of Grolleau, buoyant and gulpable, all bright red fruit and zesty minerality over a spine of vibrant acidity.
Serve it with a slight chill — this is natural wine doing exactly what it should do, which is taste like a party.
