Papillon Rouge - 2022 - Théophile Milan

A blended cuvée of Grenache Noir, Syrah, and Niellucio from organically farmed vines planted between 1997 and 1999 on soils of limestone scree with red clays, totaling three hectares. Hand-harvested and naturally vinified: co-maceration of whole clusters of all three varieties, a short five-day maceration, and aged in concrete tanks for 5 months. Bottled at the estate in January 2023 without fining or filtration, zero added sulfur. It's the same juice as the Le Vallon cuvée but with less aging and no sulfur!
