This is fruit from of old vines, so old that they only yielded enough grapes to make just 300 bottles of this cuvée, of Grenache planted over soils of clay and sandstone. A very special, delicate riff on this grape which has aged beautifully.
Ludovic Engelvin has, like many before him, walked the well-trodden path from sommelier and wine shop owner to fully-fledged winemaker. With stints with some of France’s most storied winemakers behind him (including Didiers Barral and Dagueneau), and 9 hectares of vineyards planted across the Gard region of southern France, Ludovic makes studied, expressive wines by utilising biodynamic treatments in his vines and by keeping to rigorous, monk-like standards in his cellar.
