"The schist marl soils of Fenouillèdes are ideal for Grenache Noir. This wine has a ruby color with black highlights. After an initial nose of fresh red berries (cherry), aeration reveals notes of black fruit enhanced by a hint of pepper. The red fruit flavors return on the palate, which is well-structured, silky, and long. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the estate:
The Grier family, owners of a vineyard in South Africa renowned for its sparkling wines, established this 25-hectare estate in the Fenouillèdes region in 2006. They entrusted its management to Raphël Graugnard, who brings all his experience to bear in producing wines that symbolize the successful union of the Old and New Worlds.
