l’Edre “l’Edre” 2014

 

SKU: EDRE022214 Categories: , , , Product ID: 13570
Producer: Domaine de l’Edre

Description

Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieunidou are two wine fanatics, farming inherited vines part-time in the village of Vingrau (Roussillon). With limited acreage, average yields of just 1.05 tons/acre, and consistently stellar press, the wines are naturally in short supply, though there are plans to slowly increase production to meet demand.

Tasting Notes: Inky purple/black color. Layers of dark fruit (cassis, black cherry) on the nose, with prominent oak, underlying mineral character, and hints of graphite/pencil shavings. A big wine, with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Serve With: Pair with grilled lamb, game, or prime cuts of beef.

Viticulture

Sustainably grown, with all viticultural work done by hand and organic manure used for fertilizer. Green harvested to keep yields down.

Winemaking

Fermentation began naturally with wild yeasts. Grapes were fully de-stemmed. Macerated 25 – 28 days on the skins (extraction by racking and pigeage). Aged 12 months in 2nd use French oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.
