2021 Les Maou Entre les Gouttes
WINEMAKER: Vincent Garreta, Aurélie Garreta
VARIETY: Carignan, Aubun,
REGION: Vaucluse (between the Rhône and Provence), FR.
VITICULTURE: Organic
Carignan (70%), Aubun (30%). Late harvest grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration in cement and are then stomped by foot. Aged for 2-3 months in stainless steel or resin tanks. Unfined, unfiltered.
The biggest, grandest of the Les Maoù line-up is this blend of late-harvested and semi-carbonically macerated Carignan and Aubun — bursting with ultra-ripe red berries and dark plums, but balanced with freshness and a beautiful tannic structure on the finish. This is sure to be one of the best wines to warm your soul this winter as you hunker down for full-on hygge.
