The “vent Cers”  or winds from the northwest bring cold, dry weather as a counterpoint to the warm, humid air from the Mediterranean to the east, known as the “vent Marin.” Seriously quaffable, this zero-zero blend is medium-bodied and super clean, light and chewy with gentle tannins. Crunchy black fruit, a sprinkling of peppercorn and a long, fresh finish. Mortadella vibes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75% Syrah, 25% Grenache noir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Languedoc-Roussillon, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region or Appellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corbières\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture: *\u003cem\u003eCertified Organic 2006\u003cbr\u003e*\u003c\/em\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcareous soil and blue marl, yet winds are just as important: the “vent Cers” from the northwest brings cold, dry weather as a counterpoint to the warm, humid air to the east, the Mediterranean “vent Marin”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170–660 feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYeasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigenous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Destemmed and fermented for three weeks in concrete\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged in flex tank.

Their domaine begins at the end of a road lined with Cypress trees and extends in either direction across 15ha of lush vegetation, a secret garden of olives, tomatoes, eggplants, wild herbs, and newly-born kittens.\u003cbr\u003eWe first met Laetitia and Rodolphe in the deep, damp recesses of Cave Ackerman on a February afternoon in the Loire, and even then their wines were singing. But when we pulled up to their home in August and were greeted by bowls of freshly grilled palourdes, mussels, garlic, and parsley cooked in the juice we were about to drink, we understood their wines had made it feel like summer all along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"fond-cypr-s\"\u003eFOND CYPRÈS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Languedoc-Roussillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-region or Appellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corbières\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemakers and Owners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laetitia Ourliac, Rodolphe Gianesini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcareous soil, and blue marl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 ha\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40605649666244,"sku":"00072538","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/5e90f85c77825c8184e27e69c374b79d.jpg?v=1631406590","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/fond-cypres-cypres-de-toi-syrah-corbieres-languedoc-rousillon-fr-2020","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
