“The schist-rich marl soils of the Fenouillèdes are well-suited to Grenache Noir. This wine displays a ruby color with black highlights. After an initial nose of fresh red berries (cherry), aeration reveals notes of black fruit accented by hints of pepper. The red fruit flavors return on the palate, which is well-structured, silky, and long-lasting. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the wine:

The schistose marl soils of the Fenouillèdes are well-suited to Grenache Noir. This wine displays a ruby color with black highlights. After an initial nose of fresh red berries (cherry), aeration reveals notes of black fruit accented by a hint of pepper. The red fruit flavors return on the palate, which is well-balanced, silky, structured, and long-lasting.

About the estate:

The Grier family, owners of a vineyard in South Africa renowned for its sparkling wines, established this 25-hectare estate—comprising a single contiguous plot—in the Fenouillèdes region in 2006. They entrusted its management to Raphël Graugnard, who brings his extensive experience to crafting wines that embody the successful union of the Old and New Worlds.
