Domaine des Escaravailles Les Coteaux Rasteau 2020
'The estate gets its name from the Occitan word for beetle, “escaravay”. This was the nickname given by the inhabitants of Rasteau to the Black Penitent monks of Avignon, who owned the farm in the 17th century. The land for the Domaine was bought in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran, with a vision to plant it with vines, and it has remained in the Ferran family ever since. This wine comes from a vineyard called “Le Ratanaud” with soils composed of blue clay. These hillsides, located between 330 and 350m of altitude have a south exposition, which brings freshness and perfect maturity to the wine. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted at the vineyard. They are fully destemmed then fermented in concrete tanks, each varietal separately. Vatting time is between 28 to 35 days with daily grape-treading and pumping-over. Ageing is then in concrete tanks for fifteen months. Enjoy with grilled aubergine and feta cheese, aged prime rib, lamb shoulder and garlic cream, Bleu d'Auvergne cheese.'
La Collection Le Pur Sans Grenache Organic 2023
Every year, a limited edition wines that reflects the unique conditions for the vintage are created. Together, these wines form La Collection, a celebration of the unpredictability of nature and the creative spirit of the makers at St Jacques d’Albas. Situated in the Minervois, a seductive region in the west of France’s Languedoc, tucked in between the medieval city of Carcassonne, the Black Mountains and the Canal du Midi, the family-owned Château St Jacques d’Albas benefits from a wealth of natural advantages to produce impressive wines. Over 60 hectares of forest and garrigue, teaming with wildlife, and an 11th century chapel, protect the 26 hectares of organic vines. From the outset, their philosophy has been to limit yields and take an organic approach to managing the soil and the vines.
