Story

Winemaker Hervé Bizeul, who won Best Sommelier of France, knows how to make spectacular, food-friendly wines. This is his un-oaked blend of Carignan and Grenache from 80-year-old vines with a touch of younger Syrah.

Taste

Rated highly by wine guides and critics from Paris to New York, this is a fantastic food wine. Classic Roussillon flavours of intense blackcurrant and bilberry, with hints of the garrigue in which it is grown (juniper, wild thyme, sage, rosemary).

Serve

Slightly cool at 16°, and leave 30 minutes to “open up”.

Match

Robust hearty casseroles and more rugged meat dishes, especially when using garrigue herbs. Excellent with tomato flavours, turkey with cranberry, and especially game - Sanglier (wild boar) is the favourite in Roussillon!

Avoid

Trying to fly on a broomstick after a glass or two ... it’ll only end in bruises (or tears).

Quote

The village elders claim that, as far back as they can remember, the tortured vines were always considered looking old; if fairies gather and dance during the solstice, they do it here, in this mysterious place.
