COTE ROTIE SAINT COSME 2018
GIGONDAS Cuvée Des Blaches 2020
Field of ESPIERS
It is in 1989 that the area of Espiers was born in Vacqueyras, when Philippe Cartoux decided to walk in the footsteps of his grandparents who owned a vineyard in the family since 1879.
The vineyard now covers 9,5 hectares including 3 to Gigondas, 4 en Cotes du Rhone et 2,5 en Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Sablet. The grape variety is largely dominated by the main 3 Rhone grape varieties, namely Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The vines are in struggle and receive no chemical treatment. In general, the gestures are all part of a logic of respect for the soil and the environment, with yields particularly lower than 35 hl / ha.
Harvesting is manual for traditional winemaking and aging in oak barrels. Philippe Cartoux likes to produce robust, gourmet but also refined wines. Proof of the quality of its work, Lavinia boutiques offer its wines.
This wine consists of a single plot of vines in the commune of Gigondas.
The vine is aged 40 and composed of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. The harvest is manual and often the grapes picked are slightly overripe in order to obtain wines more full-bodied.
The vinification is done with a very high temperature (+ 34 ° c) in order to extract a maximum of aromas and color. The harvest is complete to allow a good homogeneity of the grape marc and long pumping over.
This wine is then aged in barrels for about 12 months, then bottled without sticking or filtration.

Acquired by the family in 1490, the property comprises 22 ha of old vines with an average age of 60 years.
They give small yields. The terroir of Saint Cosme is a geological mosaic linked to the great upheaval of the Dentelles de Montmirail.

CHATEAU DE PIBARNON RED BANDOL 2019
Grape variety 90% MOURVEDRE - 10% GRENACHE
The vines dominate the valley, facing the sea, hanging from restanques to restanques, up to 300 m in altitude, on these slopes forming a vast circus sheltered from the mistral. The high altitude of the vineyard is worth cool nights and slow ripening of the grapes. The Château de Pibarnon vineyard is planted on very old Triassic soil, characterized by a very high level of limestone. This limestone promotes the appearance of bouquets in wines, and allows the extraction of very fine and elegant tannins.
