Description
Spicy, wild style Rosé from Carignan and Syrah. Playful. Soft aromatic with hints of grapefruit and orange peel with a light pepper, wrapped in a creamy jacket. Bouncy rosé full of life with a yeasty edge. Both the rosé to open just an hour too early in the day, bathed in sunlight and with a somewhat more substantial dinner on colder days. Nice if that is possible.
In 2019, the young winemaker Joé Chandelier started his own domain in the communes of Souvignargues and St Côme and Maruejols in the Gard with 5.5 ha. The vineyards are planted with Grenache, the almost extinct Aramon, Syrah, Carignan and Chasselas. The wines are vinified in the cellar without any filtering or clarification and with only the grape's own yeasts. Depending on the cuvée and vintage, Joé decides whether a small pinch of sulphites is added just before bottling and whether the wine is still matured in old Burgundian barrels. The vineyards are surrounded by trees and hedges, which means that no insecticides have to be used. The vines are very old, on average 80 years old, and the yields are kept low.
