PORTRAIT OF THE WINEMAKER:

Former rocker Sébastien Dervieux - known to his friends as Babass - has already made a name for himself in the world of natural wine. On a 2.4-hectare vineyard in Beaulieu-sur-Layon, in the Loire Valley, Babass grows Cabernet Franc, Grolleau, Gamay and Chenin Blanc on sandstone and slate soil. Having immersed himself in natural winemaking since 2001, Babass is considered one of the pioneers both in the Loire Valley and throughout France for his decision to no longer use sulfites and other additives in winemaking - and his production philosophy is the so-called “zero-zero”. “How simple, so I could do it”? How to say it here. The fact that a winemaker can afford to interfere with the processes minimally requires precise knowledge and experience, understanding each grape and its potential in the wine cellar. Although the risks are considerable, Babass wines embody how many understand natural wines today. They are wild, vibrant, but at the same time precise.
