About wine:

Pèirafi 2015 purifies itself in the air to reveal radiant fruit and vigorous tannins that awaken and anchor the cuvée on a rustic, peasant-like and solid base.

About the estate:

Jean-Luc Matha's methods are organic because the winemaker likes wines that roll their "r"s. Close to the fruit and their particular terroir of rougier—the red, iron-rich, quasi-mountainous soils of Marcillac—the vines planted on terraces offer ideal ripeness. All the vintages are destemmed because Jean-Luc Matha does not like the taste of "pepper." With hindsight, it is clear that the Servadou grape (also known as Mansois or Braucol) in the hands of this winemaker needs time, and that it is necessary to know how to tame the different vintages.
