Tasted blind and at some point said "well, I'd be surprised if it's Sous Le Végétal." Why? Muscat character is here, but where's that signature saltiness and minerality? Turns out Livia plays by different rules than their other cuvées. Still delicious - moderately tropical with good earthiness, hints of honey and herbs. Fresh and effortless
About Producer
One might say that the earth exploded, leaving myriads of tiny islands between Greece and Turkey. Samos, a largely mountainous island, is almost touching Anatolia, only separated from it by 1 mile (sic!) Mycale Strait. In 2017 Jason Ligas and Patrick Bouju created a collaborative wine project Sous Le Végétal (under vegetation), on this beautiful green island. Through the variety of Muscat de Samos grapes, they try to express the spirit of the local terroir.
What you usually notice while looking at Sous Le Végétal bottles is the off-the-Earth labels created by Anthony Duchene, a French artist inspired by the volcanic granite soils.
