Story

The ‘Domaine de Montine’ is a family propety for three generations. Combinning modern techniques, tradition and Sustainable Viticulture, they offer you the best of their vineyard and of their know-how. The Grenache makes up their entire plantation on Grillon’s plateau with a rolled pebble’s soil.

Vineyard

The vines are tended to without any Insecticide, Pesticide or Herbicide. The use of organic fertilizer is strictly reserved to the plot of land concerned and is with respect to the soil. Tillage and crop covers are maintained every other row. All labor is done manually, including harvest.

Vinification

In order to respect the fruit and the freshness of this cuvée. Destemed at 100%. Quite short fermentation and maceration: one week. Daily pump-over and control of the temperatures twice a day.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of tiny red berries and notes of violets open up for a fresh nose. The palate is delightfully soft with ripe fruit and mellow tannins that leave your mouth watering. There is a significant length to this wine for a lovely finish.

Food Pairing

Perfect with lamb chops, creamy goat cheese or charcuterie.
