French Red

Organic, hand-harvested Pinot Noir fermented with indigenous yeast, matured in barrel for 10 months. Delicate, elegant, expressive.

9th generation estate dates to 1735. Mostly Pineau d’Aunis w/balance of Pinot Noir & Cabernet Franc. from 50-90 yr old vines grown on limestone slopes. Med-bodied, floral, red fruit, spicy pepper, delish dry finish. Ooh, tannins. Organic.

Grenache & syrah from a tiny organically farmed plot in Sabran (close to Bagnols). Fermented in stainless, it's all crunchy red fruit, cranberries, garrigue, and energy. Winemaker is Sicilian, former chemical engineer, now low-fi wine maker.

Biodynamic Cabernet Franc. Soft, herbal, earthy, fruity, youthful.

Aged in cement w/ no additives except a dash of SO2 at bottling. Grenache, Cinsault & Syrah from vines at least 40 years old. Medium-weight, bright acidity, fruity, herbal, earthy. Producer’s website calls it a “wine of conviviality”. Sounds about right

See producer's note below.

Organic Gamay. Fresh, bright, minerally with notes of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice on the finish. It's an easy sipper that will complement the meal without overpowering it. Shows best with a slight chill.
