Tasting notes

Deep ruby with a garnet rim. The nose offers dark cherry, blackberry and garrigue herbs with hints of pepper, liquorice and earthy spice. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity and a long, savoury, mineral finish.

About this wine

Le Soula is a high-altitude project in the Fenouillèdes hills of Roussillon, in the far south of France, created with the involvement of Gérard Gauby, one of the pioneers who transformed the image of Roussillon wine. The vineyards lie on poor, stony soils at altitude, where cool nights preserve freshness in a hot Mediterranean climate.

The red is built on old-vine Carignan, completed by Syrah and Grenache, farmed organically and vinified with minimal intervention. Released under the Côtes Catalanes IGP, it shows how mountain terroir can give Mediterranean grapes finesse and tension rather than weight.

The 2016 vintage now has several years of bottle age, bringing savoury, layered complexity.
