2020 l'Octavin Cariboom

WINEMAKER: Alice Bouvot
REGION: Jura/Provence, FR
VARIETAL: Carignan, Grenache
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"This blend of roughly equal parts of Carignan and Grenache comes from the biodynamic vineyards of Claude Ughetto in the Vaucluse. The former pressed directly and the latter infused as whole bunches for three weeks. After pressing, the wines were assembled in cuve to rest until the following spring. The result is a light, bright and perfumed wine with notes of red cherry, citrus and bitter herbs that pile on the charm." - Tutto

Alice Bouvot started from scratch in 2004, buying a small cellar in the village of Arbois and a couple of hectares of vines in the hills surrounding. She now farms around five hectares biodynamically and harvests grapes from trusted friends all over France. A highly sought-after cult producer.
