Winemaker Gérard Gauby found the site in 2001, along with some abandoned vineyards, and set it up in partnership with UK wine merchants Roy Richards and Mark Walford. The vineyards have been organic from the start and biodynamic since 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrown organically and biodynamically at 350 to 600 metres, mainly on granite soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow yields of around 13 hectolitres per hectare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermented with wild yeasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged for 20 months in 500-litre barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fenouillèdes, Roussillon, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carignan, Syrah, Grenache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, still, medium-bodied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mature Roussillon red wine from old-vine Carignan, with graphite, red fruit and firm tannins.
