Description

Vin d'assemblage of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Bold and sparkling clean. A mouth full of dark and juicy red fruit, Provence herbs and an earthy touch. Subtle tannins, silky and a delicate freshness. The vineyards are up to 600 meters altitude, located at the foot of the Eastern Pyrenees and only 70 km from the Mediterranean Sea. A unique red that, thanks to the blend of its different vintages, is the expression of the terroir of the Pyrenees.

Domaine Le Soula was started in 2001 by English wine importers Roy Richards and Mark Walford with Gérard Gauby as advisor. From the beginning the vineyards were farmed organically and in 2008 they made the switch to fully biodynamic.

Today, the cheerful South African Wendy Paillé is the winegrower at Le Soula. Wendy moved to Virginia in 2003 and made the transition from sommelier to winegrower to work for a local winery, where she met Joseph Paillé. Love blossomed and Joseph convinced Wendy to move back to France with him, where Joseph created the Pithon – Paillé estate with wine legend Jo Pithon. In 2012, Wendy made her first solo vintage at Pithon-Paillé.

In 2014 she exchanged the Loire for Roussillon in the South of France, where Joseph started working at Domaine Benastra and Wendy at Domaine Le Soula, where she is ultimately responsible for the team, the cellar and 22 hectares of biodynamically cultivated vineyards.

At Le Soula Wendy makes very unique 'solera wines' according to the Sherry method. Blending different vintages is not allowed in France, which is why her wines are sold as the lowest classification 'Vin de France'. The mineral natural wines she makes are special, powerful but also elegant!
