An atypical sparkling red wine, with notes of blackberry and soft spices. Clean on the palate, without sweetness, the abundant bubbles reveal a light tannin on the finish. A lovely discovery.
Philippe Viret
Philippe Viret is the winemaker behind the legendary Domaine Viret, located in the Rhône Valley in the Southern Drôme area. Philippe and his father Alain have created a paradise for vines, which is hardly surprising when you consider that the area was called "Paradise Hills" in Roman times! Everything here is exceptional: a cathedral cellar, built according to the geometry of the golden ratio, inspired by Mayan and Incan traditions. A veritable temple dedicated to wine... a dream come true! Domaine Viret is best known as the originator of a unique growing method: Cosmoculture. While Cosmoculture is similar to biodynamic viticulture in some respects, it is a philosophy in its own right, based on a bioenergetic approach to viticulture. The aim is, of course, to produce as naturally as possible, but also to balance the ecosystem surrounding the vine. Vibrant, racy wines that reflect the energy of the place.
