RVF
A bold blend of the three Grenache varieties planted in 1898, this low-yielding cuvée (6hl/ha) distills aromas of white peach, cut grass and honey. The wine boasts a fine balance between stone fruits and acids, and is light, airy and refreshing on the palate. The saline finish is long-lasting.

About the domain :
Paul Old cultivates these old vines between Corbières and Roussillon biodynamically. The minimalist approach in the cellar produces some highs (Prioundo and L'Extrême, in white) but also some lows, with gas saturation in certain cuvées and an occasional lack of clarity. However, these wines know how to age and benefit from aeration.
