Eric Chevalier Émeri Rouge

Touted as a rising star by legendary wine writer and importer Kermit Lynch, Eric Chevalier is based in Saint-Philbert de Grandlieu, southwest of Nantes where he produces high-quality organic, terroir-driven wines. Eric's wine-making approach is defined by minimal intervention; he uses natural, indigenous yeasts and ages his wines on the lees for several months to develop texture and complexity.
Émeri is a stunning natural glou-glou red singing with small berry fruits and complex mushroom and undergrowth savouriness on the palate. Drinks like a Jura red at a fraction of the price!
