Product Description
92 points Wine Enthusiast
"This is a beautifully fruity, ripe wine with textured acidity under the red currant and spice flavors. The wine, a blend of Grenache and Cinsault with a little Syrah, is structured, peppered and full of final tangy fruitiness. Drink from late 2022. Organic."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Sainte-Victoire is one of the new crus in Provence, with only 24 winemakers. Sainte-Victoire is also noteworthy for a "gentleman's agreement" in effect here: the vignerons of Saint-Victoire have all elected to practice organic viticulture. As with all of their neighbors, striking a balance with nature is central to the Negrel family's philosophy, and their vineyards have been certifed organic since 2013. The average age of their vines is 35 years old, with the oldest vines now over 70 years old. The age of the vines is a key factor for the wines consistency and quality; the yield of the wines is naturally kept low to ensure high quality of the wines. Cadenet employs traditional methods: free-run juice is drawn off as soon as the soft pink color begins to show during a cold maceration. 45% Grenache, 45% Cinsault, 10% Syrah. Refined, fresh, and well-balanced with an elegant fruit and beautiful hue. Certified organic
