RVF
This cuvée, a bold blend of the three Grenache varieties planted in 1898, is produced from low yields (6 hl/ha) and offers aromas of white peach, cut grass, and honey. The wine exhibits a beautiful balance between stone fruit and acidity, with a light, airy, and refreshing palate. The salty finish provides a lovely length.

About the estate:
Paul Old cultivates these old vines using biodynamic methods in the region between Corbières and Roussillon. His minimalist approach in the cellar yields some standout wines (Prioundo and L'Extrême, both whites) but also some less successful ones, with certain vintages suffering from excessive carbonation and, at times, a lack of clarity. However, the wines age well and benefit from aeration.
