Notes
"Pour Ma Gueule” (literally translated to “for my mouth”) is a term commonly used by French vintners and which usually refers to a stash of wine determined too good to sell to the public and reserved for the winemakers' personal consumption.
VINEYARD: Sourced from multiple small vineyards from vines that average 65 years of age, all grown on granite soils. Farmed lutte raisonnée.
VINIFICATION: Grapes for each varietal are harvested, vinified, and aged separately and then blended together before bottling. After a 10-day cold soak, the wine was made in concrete; aged on the lees for 12 months and bottled lightly filtered.
