Nicolas Bastin (Gaillac, France)


Nicolas Bastin (R), earlier this month during a visit to Patrick Desplats

Pulling up chez Baptiste Cousin, the first salon of many for me last weekend around the Loire, a guy in a funny rainbow hat and with a huge smile kindly said hello to my friend ZB and I as we walked in. It turns out it was Nicolas Bastin, a winemaker in the, for lack of a better term, up and coming Gaillac region, who happened to be pouring his wines that night. Bastin’s bottles contained perhaps the most psychedelic juices that I tasted that evening, no small feat considering the company present; Tom of l’Absurde Genie des Fleurs, J-M Dreyer, Etienne Thiebaud, Morgane Turlier, and many more stalwarts of the natural wine universe.

Tasting with Nicolas, who was casually sipping out of what appeared to be a ram’s horn, I was immediately taken aback by these hard to place in any kind of context wines. All extreme in a sense, but all comforting, warming—oxygen, VA, fruit all harmonzing and swirling around both in my glass and in my brain. Throughout the weekend I kept running into Nicolas, and most memorably during an epic visit to Patrick Desplats’ qvevri garden in Saint Lambert du-Lattay. Nicolas, originally from the Pyrenees, and a former cow farmer and cheese maker in the Gard, fell into making wine in the Gaillac after a chance encounter with Philippe Jambon, soon discovering a property that he now farms and vinifies on. Bastin has both an incredibly warm demeanor and a naturally infectious energy, and these qualities are felt in the wines—bottles so completely idiosyncratic that challenge even the most seasoned drinkers expectations of what natural wine can be.
