Clos du Tue-Boeuf, Cheverny Blanc 'La Gravotte' 2022

When it comes to natural wine in France, Thierry Puzelat's impact on the Loire Valley is comparable to that of Lapierre in Beaujolais. At Clos du Tue-Boeuf, he and his brother, Jean-Marie, organically farmed local grape varieties before anyone else in the region. Today, Thierry makes this rare white bottling is made from a blend of grapes, including fié gris. Fié gris is an old-school name for sauvignon rose, a softer, textured variant of sauvignon blanc.
