Domaine de La Patience "From the Tank" Vin de France Blanc

“From the Tank” is a light Chardonnay that is pale yellow in the glass with a tart, fruity nose and dynamic mineral scents. The palate opens with crisp citrus blossom and peach flavors that are boosted by vibrant acidity and heady minerality, followed by a finish of juicy white peach. This bagged, boxed wine is the result of a collaboration between NYC-based natural wine importer Jenny & François Selections and Les Vignerons D’ Estézargues.

This bag-in-box wine was Jenny Lefcourt's passion project, inspired by the old-school French tradition of going to the local winery with a big empty jug to fill up with easy-drinking table wine (The woman on the bike is none other than Jenny herself). “I was living in France and experienced the centuries-old tradition of going to the local winery with a big jug to fill up with wine for all to enjoy. Making delicious, affordable wines available to everyone is my dream. You’re going to love this wine. It’s like a 'vacation in a glass' from the French countryside, from me to you!”

The light and easy-to-transport packaging makes the wine perfect for any outdoor activity, from picnics to poolside parties, and the bag-in-box packaging is the most carbon-efficient wine package available, producing the least waste: 55% lower carbon footprint in manufacture and transport and 85% less landfill waste compared to traditional glass bottles.

The wines are made by Domaine de La Patience, a thriving Mediterranean estate that Jenny has been working with since the very beginning of Jenny & François. The three-liter box is equivalent to four 750ml bottles of wine, and once opened, the wine keeps up to one month in the fridge – perfect for that indulgent little glass of wine that’s well deserved after a long day.

The certified organic grapes were de-stemmed and crushed. Fermented with native yeast in concrete tanks where the wine is then aged three months. Bagged and boxed on-demand to ensure maximum freshness, with light filtration and no fining.
