Description

It would be difficult to identify this wine as Grenache if you were tasting it blind.  It doesn't express any of the typical candied fruit and spice of a Grenache originating in the Rhone Valley. Considering the uniqueness of this wine the winemaker decided to forego labeling this wine as Cotes du Rhone and opted Vin du France.  He didn't want to cloud perceptions of this wine with expectations of a Cotes du Rhone Flavor profile. This wine is not difficult to understand.  Nonetheless, this is definitely a wine for meditation.

Situated in Sainte-Cécile-Les-Vignes, Domaine Rouge-Bleu follows farming inspired by biodynamic principles on all of its 8.5ha, of which half rest in the Côtes du Rhône Villages Sainte Cécile appellation. Our low yields are the natural outcome of old, deep-rooted vines that sit on a stony soil of ancient riverbed and garrigue. Coupled with the Mediterranean climate of long, hot, dry summers and the rot-inhibiting Mistral wind, our vineyard is the perfect environment for berry maturation, giving a pure expression of terroir. Lunatique is our prestige cuvee made from a parcel of Grenache planted in 1910. It is only made in exceptional years and has extended ageing potential. Hand bottled at the Domaine by gravity and without filtration. Minimal sulfite addition.
