La Ferme du Pasteur Coquin de Sort Rosé 2023

Country: France

Region: Rhône

Type: Rosé

Grape: Grenache Noir & Syrah 

In 2021 Caroline and Rémy Kaneko settled on 2 ha of vineyards in Saint-Maurice sur Eygues near the city of Nyons. Remy is a trained sculptor and had restored old frescoes throughout France. He was also half of the pair behind the very popular wine bar Chambre Noir in Paris for several years.

They returned to his parents' olive farm, and now in addition to the family's olive trees, the two of them make small quantities of wine from their grapes on the farm, without any additions at all, including sulfur. Farming is organic & biodynamic and the old vines (85 years old) are located on the slopes of Saint Maurice on a soil characterized by clay-calcareous soils covered with "galets roulés" (large pebbles) typical of the region. The younger (25 year old) vines are located directly above on a terrace of the same texture. 

This rosé is Grenache Noir & Syrah directly pressed to stainless steel tank for spontaneous fermentation. Highly drinkable and elegant, with a slightly oxidative note and salty, strawberry minerality.
