70% Merlot, 30% Abouriou
Histories de Boire came to creation in 2017 as a co-project of Sandrine Farrugia and Elian Da Ros to show that Merlot can be a versatile grape that can be vinified into a glouglou, easy to drink style through carbonic maceration. According to Sandrine, as the wine is so easy to drink, this cuvée is made only in Magnums, ''just to make sure that there'll be enough wine for 2 people''. –Paris Wine Company
Historically, the region around Marmande has been more famous for tomatoes than for wine, but Elian Da Ros might change all that. Returning to his native town of Cocumont in 1998, Elian constructed a simple winery and took the daring step of being the first winemaker to produce and bottle his own wine under the Côtes du Marmandais AOP. Crafting superb, biodynamic wines from Bordeaux varieties as well as the local Abouriou, Elian is one of those French vignerons that is universally respected by just about every other vigneron you talk with, regardless of their views on agriculture and winemaking.
