Tasting Notes
60% old Carignan, 40% Syrah, aged in demi-muids for 12 months. Lous Rougeos is the last arable land at the foot of the cliff of the Larzac Plateau, a balcony of limestone scree that overlooks the village of St-Privat at 400-500m altitude. This was the village's wine land and each family had to own a small piece for their own consumption. Abandoned for several decades, Olivier has rediscovered the original vineyard, rebuilt the dry stone walls, replanted and cultivated the old vines that are still there. In the same fashion as the Carlan, Lou Rougeos is a fresher style of red wine, away from the heat of the average Languedoc wines. Lots of finesse and elegance, and great acidity. - Importer Note
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
