The Hidden Gem of the Rhone!

“Wine that translates all the harmony and wisdom of old-world Grenache. He expresses himself with grace and elegance in a straight and pure register.” (Adrien Roustan, legendary Rhone producer.)
 In his first year, Adrien converted the vineyards to organic farming, obtaining certification in 2012. In 2020, he decided to take it one step further—today, the vineyards are farmed biodynamically. The vine pruning, paling, planting and ploughing—everything—is done by hand. The 2019 ‘Tire Bouchon’ rouge is a blend of 25% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, 20% Carignan, 10% Œillade, 10% Counoise and 10% Aramon. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented whole cluster. After a short maceration, the wine was aged in vats for 6 months and bottled early to preserve the wine’s natural freshness. Beautiful garnet robe. The nose is richly perfumed, exuding ripe black and red fruits. Rich palate bursting with loads of brambly berry fruit and a touch of scorched earth, supported by a graceful, acid backbone. The finish is long and bright, with a velvety mouthfeel. Dangerously delicious, enjoy this juicy red at cool, cellar temperature and with a rack of smoked crown ribs. A truly magical experience!
