This “blouge” wine, which falls somewhere between red and white, embodies the new wave of fresh and light wines that are highly sought after internationally: delicious, fruity, and irresistible for beautiful spring and summer days.
This original wine, which is neither quite red, rosé, nor white, has a light and brilliant color typical of red wines with very low extraction. It is made primarily from Cinsault, supplemented with Grenache, and has a delightful nose of fresh red fruit and a smooth and refreshing palate. The natural roundness of the Cinsault is combined with the fruity character of the Grenache, resulting in a particularly tasty and easy-drinking wine. This light and thirst-quenching wine is best served chilled and perfectly embodies the spirit of a convivial, refreshing wine.

Blouge "Parle à mon fût" VDF 2024
The “Parle à mon Fût” cuvée is a “blouge,” a portmanteau of blanc (white) and rouge (red). It is made using an original winemaking method in which red grapes (Cinsault) and white grapes (Grenache blanc) are fermented together.
The wine is made from organically and biodynamically grown grapes and is fermented in 500-liter barrels with bâtonnage on the lees to add body and flavor. Aging then continues in concrete tanks, which preserves the wine’s freshness and fruitiness and gives it a lovely texture on the palate.
This winemaking method produces a smooth and aromatic wine, intended to be enjoyed young in a convivial atmosphere.
