MYR 350.00

Type: Light, Energetic Red (Natural / Glou-Glou)

Region: Vin de France (Grapes from Vaucluse, Rhône; Vinified in Arbois, Jura)

Grapes: 50% Carignan, 50% Grenache

Alcohol ABV: 12.5%

Tasting Profile and Key Notes

Aroma:
A vibrant and perfumed nose showing bright aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. Layers of citrus peel, dried Mediterranean herbs, bitter orange, and floral notes add complexity, while subtle earthy and spicy tones bring a distinctive natural wine character.

Palate:
Light-bodied, juicy, and energetic with crunchy red fruits, lively acidity, and silky tannins. The Grenache contributes ripe strawberry and plum notes, while Carignan brings freshness, structure, and a savoury edge. The finish is refreshing and slightly herbal, with notes of cherry, citrus, and gentle bitterness making it incredibly drinkable, especially served slightly chilled.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo an entirely additive-free, wild-ferment vinification process in Arbois with zero added sulfur. The Carignan is directly pressed to create a bright, high-acid juice matrix, while the Grenache is infused gently into that fermenting juice as 100% whole bunches for a semi-carbonic maceration. After pressing, the two varieties are assembled in neutral tank to rest on their fine lees until the following spring before being bottled completely unfined and unfiltered.

Farming

The fruit for this specific cuvée is sourced through a partnership with trusted grower Claude Ughetto, who practices strict biodynamic farming in the Vaucluse region of the Southern Rhône. Vines are planted in wind-swept, sun-drenched vineyards where they develop excellent phenolic ripeness while maintaining lightweight structural frames. Alice Bouvot selects and harvests these parcels manually, ensuring only pristine, chemical-free bunches make the journey north to the Jura.
