New Wave
When Gregory Hecht & François Bannier founded their wine merchant house in Southern France in the early 2000s, the local winegrowers were somewhat surprised that these two young oenologists, who were not from the region, had turned up there. They wanted to bring a breath of fresh air to the region, nourished by the experience they had gained in other wine-growing regions. Year after year, critics have applauded the assemblages of this "new wave of wine". The two partners were soon dubbed the "Wine Beach Boys" of the vineyard, both because of their surfer look and their relaxed, straightforward approach to traditional Midi winemaking.
Some years later, the two friends still surf whenever they get the chance, and in the summer with their children too. As a nod to this nickname of the old surfers, Hecht & Bannier came up with the name "Nouvelle Vague" for this cuvée.
It is vinified from their best organic grape selections, which come from their historic winemaking playgrounds. The assemblage is mostly aged in concrete tanks and, after light filtration and without fining, bottled.
