Our Review of the Cuvée
From the very first whiff, ROCCA NIGRA reveals a rich bouquet dominated by blackcurrant, accompanied by hints of pepper and menthol. On the palate, it surprises with its immediate freshness, which unfolds into a delicate dance, carried by an airy structure. The blackcurrant notes are vibrant and intense, leaving an almost jubilant aftertaste. The velvety texture offers a rare harmony, with a long, lingering finish marked by subtle concentration and refined elegance.

Domaine de Bablut
Loire | France
In Anjou, Domaine de Bablut primarily cultivates Chenin and Cabernet Franc, emblematic grape varieties of the region. The vineyard largely rests on schist soils, which impart a perceptible tension and vibrancy to the wines, evident in both whites and reds.
Vinification processes are conducted with precision, favoring moderate extractions to preserve fruit clarity and structural balance. White wines exhibit vibrant and linear profiles, while reds maintain a clear framework and a measured structure. Aging regimens remain understated, designed to complement the wine's substance without dictating its style.
All cuvées are characterized by an assertive sobriety and natural relief, offering a faithful and legible interpretation of the Anjou terroirs, without seeking artificial effects or ostentation.
