Mataburro
Laurent Roger and Melissa Ingrand
(Roussillon, France)

Laurent Roger, a former employee at Paris’ venerable Le Verre Vole, as well as an ex-assistant of Alain Castex in his late Casot des Mailloles days, makes wine with his partner Melissa Ingrand under the Mataburro name. Laurent and Melissa’s wines are lightly extracted and precise juices perfect for apéro, and both easy dinners and joyous lunches. Balanced in freshness and bitterness, these are aromatic cocktail-like elixirs that showcase a new guard of southern French winemaking. 2021 also marks the first time a white wine has been released from Mataburro; Memo, a fresh and saline example of why we love Macabeu so much.
