SONG OF THE STONES (0,75L)
AOP Minervois, red
CURRENT VINTAGE: 2019
At the end of 2022, we release a second red wine in the Minervois appellation: "Chant des Pierres". It owes its name to the multiple winds that make our stone-covered soils "whistle". Laura Velasco, a painter from Valencia, designed the label based on a photo taken in one of our vineyards.

In the first year of conversion to organic farming.
GRADE VARIETY
55% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 5% Carignan
TERROIR
Our 17 hectares of vines (12 in production) are located on a lacustrine limestone plateau, between 280 and 300 meters of altitude, in Saint-Jean-de-Minervois (40 km north of Narbonne).
WINE MAKING
Here, the vines are between 25 and 60 years old. No irrigation. Manual harvesting. Vinification is done in both concrete and stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months of maturation in French oak barrels with 1 to 3 years old barrels.
TASTING
Garnet red color. On the nose, an elegant perfume of small black fruits. In the mouth, the wine is subtly woody. We find aromas of cherry, blackberry and spices. The tannins are supple and the finish is cocoa-like. A balanced Minervois with character.
FOOD & WINE PAIRING
Ideal with tapas, a platter of cold meats or cheeses, to accompany game dishes, red meat, or even slightly spicy dishes.
TEMPERATURE OF SERVICE
16-18 °C. Aerate the wine 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
