She’s married to one of the Loire’s top natty vignerons, Gregory Leclerc of Chahut et Prodiges (a Rock Juice fav), so she already knew the ropes. But Anne didn't want to make the same wines as Gregory, so she rented about six acres of biodynamic vineyards from a friend in Coteaux du Languedoc.  She assists with the end of the growing season, then harvests the grapes (on the early side) and guides the fermentations, before trucking the wine back up to the Loire in bulk containers to finish Touraine style. Which is why her wines tends to be more similar to Loire wines than the Languedoc. The early pick avoids heaviness and high alcohol, and the Loire treatment leads to lighter, more terroir-expressive wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis white blend is her homage to the perpetually sunny City of Angels, with the label designed by Sylvestor-Rovine’s (importer) LA rep who begged her to make it.  Refreshing and seductive, lemony and textured, it’s like a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eglass of blended s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eunshine and salt spray sipped while watching the sun sink into the Pacific from a Malibu balcony...  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLike all of her other wines, it’s a micro-production, zero-zero blend that is extremely allocated and limited, but somehow we scored the last 2.5 cases -- super exciting!  Anne’s wines have a cult following, however, and this one will fly, like her \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWonder WomAnne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, which lasted about 6 seconds….\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50396412051813,"sku":"kzu1792014932634","price":31.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1457\/7253\/files\/2018-autour-de-lanne-los-annegeles_1.jpg?v=1792014939","url":"https:\/\/moderatorwear.shop\/products\/2018-autour-de-lanne-los-annegeles","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
