Le Col du Loup - 2019 - Cyril Fhal
Clos du Rouge Gorge

100% Grenache from vines cultivated organically and planted on an East-facing slope with schist soils.

Needless to say, each vine is pampered individually, and harvested by hand using small crates. The vinification is natural and without additives: crushing of the whole clusters for infusion, soft pressing, end of fermentation and 23 months of aging in Burgundy barrels. Bottled without added sulfites.
