Eric Texier Cotes du Rhone Rouge "Chat Fou"
ABOUT
ABOUT
45% Grenache/35% Cinsault/20% white blend (Clairette/Viognier/Chasselas/other). From vines planted on a south-facing slope on granite soils in the warm St-Julien en St-Alban zone (in the Ardèche on the northern bank of the Ouvèze--to the west of the Rhône River, at the southern edge of the northern Rhône Valley). The fruit is organically farmed (certified) and the varieties co-harvested by hand. The bunches are part de-stemmed, part pressed directly, and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks with a short 5-day maceration and no sulfur. There are no extraction techniques utitlized. The wine is aged in tank on its fine lees for a year and bottled without fining or filtration.
