Jolie Laide
Jolie-Laide (pretty-ugly, a term of endearment in French) is the independent label of young-gun duo Scott and Jenny Schultz. Progressive wines and varietals, this Californian micro-negociant are making waves. Unconventional, as the name suggests. They work with a handful of growers, all of whom farm organically (none certified); it is their ability to seek out spectacular vineyard sites which allows them to be hands off in the winemaking process. Scott also works alongside Pax Mahle at Wind Gap wines, one of Sonoma’s (and California’s) most revered wine labels.
Description
“The 2018 Gamay Noir Barsotti & Witters Vineyard is bright, perfumed and full of energy. Red berry and floral notes perk up a mid-weight, vibrant red that captures the essence of Scott Schultz's style. The 2018 was done with carbonic maceration, using 100% whole clusters, and aged in neutral oak. Although it is quite young, the 2018 is absolutely pristine and also promising." AG
