Clos Fantine Impro VDF Red 2023

Country: France

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Syrah/Cinsault/Aramon/Picpoul/Terret

Located just outside of the village of Lenthéric, within Faugères, in the Languedoc, the 28-hectare Clos Fantine estate is run by three siblings: Carole, Corinne and Olivier Andrieu, combining their individual talents to run the business. They built their winery in 2000, three years after their father (a winemaker with a talent and passion for natural wines) passed away, and have been making natural wines in his honor ever since. All their wines are made from biodynamically grown grapes without any added sulfur and spend 18-20 months in concrete vat.

A new-ish cuvée from Clos Fantine, Impro is a blend of 50% de-stemmed Syrah with Cinsault, Aramon, and white grapes Picpoul and Terret. Dark-fruited and silky, with firm structure and fullness. The white grapes lend freshness to this remarkably elegant and smooth wine.
