About

Welcome to an independent exploration of the world of wine. Here, we uncover the fascinating journey of grapes from vine to glass, discover the dedicated winemakers and their origins, and delve into the unique flavors that make each bottle an experience. I'm not a sommelier, nor do I have any affiliations with wine importers or stores. I'm simply a wine enthusiast who enjoys documenting my tasting adventures and insights, all while maintaining the utmost impartiality.

This wine is made from Carignan Noir grown in an 80-year-old vineyard on schist soils. The grapes underwent a gentle four-day maceration with very light stomping, followed by a basket press. The wine was aged for nine months in old oak barrels and bottle-aged for an additional six months before release.

The result is a delicate, elegant wine with notes of jasmine and fresh raspberries. Harvested at the perfect time to preserve its tannins, the use of old oak allowed the wine to breathe and develop a beautifully rounded character.

Oh dear, it seems this wine and my palate haven't had their rendezvous yet. Maybe I was letting the wine breathe, or perhaps I was just taking another sip elsewhere. 😉

Fear not, dear wine enthusiast! This bottle's moment in the spotlight is coming soon. In the meantime, why not uncork your own adventure with it? After all, the best wine stories are those we create ourselves. Cheers to new tastings on the horizon! 🥂
