Features
TERROIR
Situé dans le sud de la France, en région Occitanie, dans le département de l’Hérault, sur une superficie de 27 hectares, le domaine d’Émile et Rose pro-fite du caractère sablo-argileux des
vignobles des communes de Corneilhan et Pailhes.
VINIFICATION ET ÉLEVAGE
L’élevage est réalisé dans des amphores de terre cuite pendant 15 mois.
CÉPAGES
Quelques grappes de l’ensemble des 37 parcelles du domaine en rouge et blanc. Cette cuvée est vinifiée dans des jarres de terre cuite de 300 litres puis élevée 15 mois en amphore.
DEGUSTATION
La robe est grenat sombre translucide. Le nez est fin, sur la crème de fruits noirs, la réglisse et une légère touche fumée. La bouche est ronde, ample, veloutée, offrant une matière séveuse, intense, confinant au voluptueux, mêlant la crème de mûre au cachou et à la baie de genièvre. La finale gagne encore en concentration et en "sévosité", avec la réglisse qui bascule carrément vers le goudron et le ciste. Cette cuvée aurait pu s'appeler Spectaculaire, mais c'était déjà pris ;-)

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
