This delightful wine is from a small parcel high above the valley and just outside Vacqueyras – the Rhone is visible in the far distance – it is a tribute to the boatmen who used to transport wine barrels downriver.

Description

This small 20h vineyard was once owned by Steven Spurrier, the wine writer, and former Paris-based wine merchant who organized the famous 1976 “Judgment of Paris” tasting. In that same year, the Bungener family acquired the estate, located in a hidden valley surrounded by Mediterranean forest at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Since 1989 Henri Bungener has farmed the vines organically and the wines have received critical acclaim well beyond their appellation.

Winemaker Notes

The grapes were hand picked over 3 days in late October. The grapes were hand sorted, destemmed, and lightly broken before entering the fermenter. After a 5 day cold soak, the must underwent fermentation, never exceeding 84 degrees. During fermentation pump overs were performed twice a day to gently extract flavors and tannin. The wine was aged in 100% French barriques, undergoing 1 racking prior bottling. The wine was bottle unfiltered.
