Light Red Wines
Romain runs a tiny 1.5 hectare estate in Gard, in the southern Rhône region. Since his first vintage in 2018 he has slowly acquired more land, meaning there is more wine available for us. Romain spent 7 years working with winemaker Eric Pfifferling at Domaine de L’Anglore prior to that assisted Matthieu Vallée at Château Yvonne. Romain works, mostly, with Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, and vinifies in old wood using little to no sulphur. His wines are about drinkability and he is really showing mastery of carbonic maceration. Incredible and extremely limited wines, from a rising star in the South of France.
A carbonic maceration 'primeur' wine, grenache and cinsault. Is it rosé or a light red? Up to you.
*Natural and Organic
Staff Review:
Definitely outside the box, but so fun and so fresh. An extremely light red of Grenache and Cinsault made by a rising star in the South of France. Drink when available and with a light chill.
