Jolie-Laide Glou d’Etat Red Wine 2024

The 2024 Glou d’Etat is composed of 34% Valdiguié, 22% Gamay, 18% Cinsault, 18% Grenache, and 8% miscellaneous varieties, drawn from a range of vineyards across Northern California and coming together in a fresh, playful expression.

This light-bodied red is made in an energetic, easygoing style. The wine undergoes carbonic maceration before being foot-crushed and left to finish fermentation with whole clusters, resulting in a lighter-drinking wine with fresh aromatics and a low-tannin profile.

Best served with a slight chill.

The name Jolie-Laide translates loosely to Pretty-Ugly, a French term of endearment to describe something that is unconventionally beautiful. Based out of Sonoma County, California, Scott and Jenny Schultz work with a handful of growers to source fruit from spectacular vineyard sites, allowing them to keep a hands-off approach in the cellar.

The winemaking method at Jolie-Laide is simple: grapes are left whole cluster, foot crushed, and aged in neutral oak. All ferments are done with native yeasts, and the only additions consist of a minimal dose of sulfur before bottling.
