L'Ubac - 2021 - Rouge Gorge
Cyril Fhal
A wine of great depth and delicacy, with a complex nose and notes of black fruit... A palate that’s rich, yet not overly effusive, and marked by its finesse. A wine in perfect balance, with lots of freshness, almost Burgundian in style. Cellar it and forget about it for a few years.

A blend of old Grenache and Cinsault vines planted in 1960, together with very old Carignan vines planted in 1905, on a superb terroir of gneiss and black mica, facing North. Viticulture and vinification are straightforward and natural; infusion is practiced during vinification for greater delicacy. Vinification: fermentation and infusion in barrels, soft pressing, 3 years of aging in a large oak barrel, and one additional year in bottle. Without fining, without filtration, zero added sulphur. 1044 bottles only.
