"The Calades 12 expresses itself with greater precision, in a beautiful evocation of warmed rockery with notes of tasty berries." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). The jammy black fruits are accompanied here by sweet spices, with great greed and length on the palate, with a delicately mentholated finish... A great success!

About the wine:

About the domain :
Situated to the north of the Pic Saint-Loup cru, this estate consists of a large parcel of southwest-facing hillside on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined on the estate by the siltier north-east-facing Tonillières terroir. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winegrowers have restructured the estate, whose origins go back a long way, moving it towards organic and then biodynamic farming certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, tasty and fragrant wines, most of which are matured in a reducing environment.
