Les Vignerons Saint Pourcain La Ficelle 2024 arinto-de-bucelas and Hautes CôtesGamay + Pinot Noir blend. 30 years ago before the region was even AOC the co operative of Saint Pourcain borrowed the idea from Mouton Rothschild of launching this wine with a new label each year. In keeping with the approachable nature of this wine its always a cartoonist invited to paint the label. La Ficelle means the string. Story goes that the barkeep would use a knotted string to dip into a patrons flagon to see how much wine they had enjoyed
