Details
Produced from Grenache (50%), Syrah(40%) and 10% Cinsault planted on limestone and clay, this fine summer wine is fresh and delicate. It extract its uniqueness from the high altitude vineyards, up to 640m! something quite unbelievable in Provence. Floral, tangy, light and dangerously easy...
At Mourgues du Gres, between southern Rhone and Provence, Mr Francois Collard produced some of the most unique wine in the area. He has good experience, as he was working at Chateau Lafite Rothschild, in Bordeaux, for while. Terre D'Argence white is made from a blend of viognier (old vines) some Petit Manseng and Roussanne. a small part is aged in barrel in order to add complexity without overpowering the natural aromas of this wine.
It is often on wine-list in France, especially in Michelin-star restaurant as most of the wines from this family estate offer stunning value.
Medium to full-bodied, gentian, gingery, peach. great glyceric texture. Balanced acidity. Superb southern wine.
Mourgues du Gres, southern rhone in style and price! Galets rouge is their entry level, dominated by syrah and topped up with Grenache and mourverdre (according to vintage). Unoaked but aged in concrete vat for 12 to 15 months in order to keep the fruit intensity and tame the tannins. Usually round, Mediterranean with herbs and soft acidity. Still a serious wine for a great price!
