Same River Twice Wines was created by James, a wine agent and former importer in Tokyo, in partnership with Laurent, a local vigneron whose family has farmed the area for over 300 years, to make a style of wine for people who love the aromatic richness of our terroir but seek wines with a lighter touch.
Laurent farms the vines and they make the wines together. Their shared obsessions are healthy soil, healthy grapes and blends that show terroir, or provenance, in its truest form. They’ve worked together s

Tasting
Bone dry, lively, energetic and juicy, atouch of tannin makes it a pleasure with light dishes and grills. Cinsault brings out raspberry, peach and citrus fruit, Grenache Noir brings out herbes de Provence, strawberry and red cherry, and provides depth and bass notes. There’s a lovely, sustained, salty finish.
Food pairings
Paella, osso bucco, barbecue, aperitif.
