{"title":"La Dernière Goutte","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Juan Sanchez opened a tiny wine shop on a cobblestone side street in Paris's 6th arrondissement in 1996, the language of terroir, biodynamics, and low-intervention winemaking was barely a whisper in the mainstream wine world. La Dernière Goutte -- The Last Drop -- became one of the places where that whisper turned into a conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJuan arrived in Paris in 1989 from Cuba via the United States with plans to study French and cook. He trained at L'École Grégoire-Ferrandi before following his palate deeper into wine. The shop opened in 1996 and became a hub for Paris's growing community of wine lovers hungry for something more alive than the commercial mainstream. Over the following decades Juan expanded his footprint in the neighborhood, adding the restaurant Fish La Boissonnerie in 1999, Cosi, Semilla in 2012, and Freddy's wine bar in 2015 -- all within a few blocks of the original shop, most in partnership with Drew Harré.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/la-derniere-goutte\"\u003eLa Dernière Goutte producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gamay-de-bonheur-la-derniere-goutte-natural-wine","title":"La Dernière Goutte Gamay de Bonheur 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eGamay de Bonheur is 100% Gamay sourced from two parcels in Vaux-en-Beaujolais, just outside the Brouilly cru, with vines ranging from 40 to 80 years old planted on pink granitic sand.
