The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Languedoc
The magnificent sanglier (wild boar) that populate the wild scrubby oak forests of the Languedoc are a wonderful totem for the region. They are also rather tasty and thus are highly prized by the locals. But no amount of hunting stops them from eating rather a lot of grapes the moment they take on enough sugar for their palates. Ironically, in this wine, this reduces yield and concentrates quality. Hence our homage to the wild pig.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Gavin Crisfield
Gavin Crisfield trained as a sommelier before training in winemaking at Plumpton College, East Sussex. He was general manager of Domaine de la Sauvageonne in the Languedoc before making his own wine for the first time in 2009 from grapes grown in cool vineyards close to St Jean de la Blaquière.
"This wine is named as such due to our hommage to the wild pig, the sanglier, who hungrily indulges its sweet tooth on the vineyards, but in doing so reduces yield and shoots the quality concentration through the roof! The juice comes from a deliciously successful vintage with a vibrant, fruity core." Andrew Baker, Wine Buyer.
