Because Grolleau is barred from all red wine AOCs in the Loire, the wine is labeled Vin de France — a classification that frees Lambert to vinify it as a serious, unfined, unfiltered red rather than the off-dry rosé the grape is usually destined for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and fermented as whole bunches for approximately two weeks using only native yeasts. After pressing, the wine rests for nine months in fiberglass vats with no additions of any kind — no fining agents, no filtration, no added sulfites. The result is a wine that is transparent about its origins: bright ruby color, lively red-fruit character, and a distinctly earthy, peppery undercurrent that reflects the sandy schist soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, Le Zu de Fruit is light to medium in body with high natural acidity, low tannins, and flavors of fresh cherry, raspberry, and forest floor, with a subtle spice note typical of Grolleau on sandy ground.
