Item # 13050 750mL

Premier Pas means "first step" in French and this was indeed the first wine produced by a talented husband-and-wife team after they'd moved to Corbières in the Languedoc-Roussillon. A natural, completely organic wine with no sulfites added, this shows ripe blackberry fruit with underlying herbal layers and cocoa notes. It's medium-bodied and great for any time of year. A blend of mostly Carignan and some Grenache Noir fermented in whole clusters.

There is also some slight earthiness on the finish that makes me want a board of salty meats and fruit preserves. Bottled unfined unfiltered and coming from a Demeter certified winery this wine will also please the natty wine crowd.

Many appellations of Languedoc-Roussillon must include a certain percentage of Carignan, but it is rarely the dominant grape in these blends. For years, this naturally high-yielding grape suffered from overproduction, but New World winemakers have lately taken up the Carignan cause and produced some distinctive and delicious examples.
