Let’s Eat the World 2016

Let's Eat the World We Want to Live In is a 2016 Vin de France red from Anders Frederik Steen and Anne Bruun Blauert, made at the cellar of Gérald and Jocelyne Oustric at Domaine Le Mazel in Valvignères, southern Ardèche. The blend is 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Carignan, 20% Syrah, and 20% Grenache Noir, sourced from organically farmed vineyards on clay and limestone soils.

The Sauvignon Blanc was pressed directly and allowed to begin fermentation for approximately two weeks before the juice was poured over the destemmed red grapes in a cuve. The full blend then macerated together for a total of 18 days before pressing. Fermentation continued outside in a fiberglass vat for nine months, with a racking in March 2017 and bottling on August 3, 2017. The wine clocks in at 13.2% ABV.

Nothing was added or removed: no sulfur, no fining agents, no filtration. The result is a genuinely unusual wine — a co-fermented white-over-red blend that sits outside any appellation, classified simply as Vin de France. The Sauvignon Blanc provides lift and aromatic energy while the Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache Noir deliver structure and dark fruit. The wine has a feral, juicy character with garrigue undertones and a lightly savoury finish that reviewers have noted is typical of the 2016 vintage from Steen.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.
