When it came time for 5th generation brothers and winegrowers Thomas and Jean Daniel Ozil they were compelled to change the trajectory of their 16 hectare family farm towards Organic viticulture and vinifying their own grapes instead of selling to the local cooperative. After working with Ardeche veteran natural winemaker Gilles Azzoni they felt confident enough to strike out on their first vintage in 2013 with the intention of making additive free wines.
The “Bois” Blanc 2024 is a blend of 70% Marsanne and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, which the Sauvignon Blanc is not typical for the appellation rules. When asked if they have ever considered seeking appellation status by the great Wine Terroirs blog, Thomas replied,”No, you have to pay, you have to get the tasting-agreement approval, fit into a mold, it’s everything we don’t like.” With this determination they are able to create blends and cultivate grapes they wouldn’t otherwise be allowed to under appellation guidelines. In our opinion it’s the freedom to make informed decisions like this that make natural wine so compelling.
The Sauvignon Blanc lends a noted lift and brightness to a Rhone grape that can become flabby and one note if left unchecked. Notes of lemon, bright herbal tones of lemongrass yield to a palate of orange oil, salinity, a hint of spice, and lifted minerality. Pair with herb salads and fish dishes. Jeremy Hernandez
