Description
WINEMAKER: Laurent Roger & Melissa Ingrand
REGION: Roussillon, FR
VARIETY: Merlot
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
"This wine is made with Merlot from 30 year old vines in Rivesaltes planted by Laurent's father on quite heavy clay soils. A 5 day maceration of whole bunches and then aging in fibreglass. Because it's entirely Merlot this year it is a bit more red than last year so we've changed its category from 'light red' to 'red (just'). ABV 12%" - Living Wines
Mataburro is a small domaine established in Roussillon by rising stars Laurent Roger & Melissa Ingrand. Laurent worked for several years at the venerable Paris bar à vin Le Verre Volé and after that returned to Roussillon to work directly with Alain Castex, then of Le Casot des Mailloles. Towards the end of 2017, armed with what he had learned from Castex, he and Melissa took over the remaining three hectare vineyard from his father, swiftly converting to organics and biodynamics. Alain Castex taught Laurent the importance of the soil. He also had this concept reinforced by Tom Lubbe and Axel Prüfer.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
