LA TEUF!

Sippable French Treasure

Wine marketing has done a very good job of leading us all to believe there are only about 8 varieties of grapes used to produce wine, but the vines tell a different story. I love a good treasure hunt especially if the “gold” is drinkable and when it comes to La Teuf Wine consider the brilliance unearthed!

Grown in “Sables Fauves” very rare and special soil that translates to tawny sands this vine starts off special, compiled with the grape variety, Gros Manseng (GRO mon SON) with skin the color of a washed up bathing beauty who never uses SPF & flavor notes resembling an 80’s disco with fruity, colorful notes & an underlying acidic nose.

Gros Manseng grapes originated along the Pyrenean Piedmont, part of the pilgrimage many travel. The grape is large in size and quick to harvest which m ay be why Cyril Laudet, chose such a fun label to represent this magical juice. La Teuf roughly means, let’s party. This wine is fun, unique pairs well with bad decisions & cheese, it doesn’t care what your credit score is and won’t judge you if your birth year is the same as a highly sought after Bordeaux.
