Description
All of the red wines are 95% Mourvèdre & 5% Grenache. Jean-Pierre marks the vintages he considers finest as ‘Longue Garde’, however the wine making doesn’t change. Destemmed grapes, spontaneous fermentation, around 15 days in cuve before 18 month in Foudre of different sizes, none of which are new. Jean-Pierre’s supple, elegant style produces supple wines with pure fruit, that drink well young but have great cellar potential.
The youngest vintage we have shipped, the 2020, is already showing well due to its delicious purity of fruit, its coal dark Mourvèdre style, and sleek fine tannins. The fruit mingles with dried herbs and floral notes, it is tightly wound, yet giving with a little air, and its fine structure gives a silkiness which is lovely now. A summer’s evening wine, not a wine for drinking fridge cold but do serve at cellar temperature or just below- warm red wine is no fun at all!
