Domaine des 2 Anes Fontanilles
Magali and Dominique Terrier have worked in diverse wine-growing regions throughout France. Over a decade ago, they found their ideal terroir in Languedoc. The grapes come from a vineyard situated on the hills covered with Mediterranean shrubs and soft red rocks. At 120 meters above sea level, it overlooks natural salt lake. Harvests are done by hand and the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Delicious with full of black cherry and dark plum fruits. Spice and chocolate notes are nice too.
Chemins de Bassac Pinot Noir

This is an easy-drinking wine with impressive backbone and a lingering finish. Winemaking Details: Wild Yeast Fermentation, Unfiltered, Unfined
