Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence , "Cul-Sec", Dom. de la Réaltière - 2020

Item # 46225 750mL

Winemaker Pierre Michelland is native to Provence, and honed his trade in New Zealand. He farms and vinifies in simple terms, creating unique wines for this wild region. 60 year-old Carignan sees 50% carbonic maceration, and 50% destemmed fermentation, both aged in concrete. This dry, light-bodied, stony and fruited red is a joy to drink. Pair with Pissaladière.
