A true rarity. The famed Alain Castex was still in charge of the winemaking when this was made (the estate is now run by Jordi Perez) and this is 100% Grenache from a vintage famed for producing long-lived wines. Layer-upon-layer of contemplative black fruits, minerality and silky tannins.
Le Casot de Mailloles was founded by Alain Castex and Ghislaine Mayer in the early 90s and for years the estate set the standard for natural winemaking in the wild country above Banyuls. The estate has since passed to Jordi Perez who continues to make the same sort of truly special wines from the tiny, perilously steep vineyards Alain and Ghislaine once cared for.
