He found it in Latour de France in the upper Agly Valley, a remote and windswept corner of northern Roussillon marked by ancient bush vines rooted in schist, gneiss and granite. Fhal assembled a patchwork of old parcels perched on steep terraces between 250 and 350 metres where farming is entirely manual and carried out according to organic and biodynamic principles. His aim has always been to channel purity and tension rather than the muscularity often associated with the region, working with extremely low yielding vines, native plant cover, careful pruning and meticulous harvest selection. In the cellar he follows a Burgundian sensibility that favours indigenous yeasts, whole clusters when suitable, neutral vessels, long ageing and minimal sulphur to present each site as transparently as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"2130\"\u003eCotes Catalanes Cuvée du Patron 2022 is drawn from some of Fhal’s older Grenache and Carignan parcels planted on schist terraces around Latour de France. The 2022 season was shaped by a very dry winter and spring that further reduced already modest yields, followed by a hot summer tempered by persistent north winds that protected acidity and slowed ripening. The resulting fruit was small and concentrated yet balanced, retaining the clarity and lift so characteristic of the domaine. Grapes were harvested by hand in successive careful rounds, then fermented spontaneously with a notable share of whole clusters to enhance aromatic brightness and structural finesse. Extraction was kept to a gentle infusion to avoid weight and to preserve the delicate mineral signature of the soils. Ageing took place for around twelve months in older Burgundian barrels and cement, allowing the wine to evolve slowly without any imprint of oak. The style is poised and detailed, showing red berries, wild herbs, cool earth, spice and a precise, graphite toned mineral line carried by fine tannins and sustained freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2132\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eLatour de France, Cotes Catalanes, Roussillon, France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003eGrapes\u003cstrong\u003e Grenache, Carignan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2233\"\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2235\" data-end=\"2253\"\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2295\"\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eDetailed, lifted, mineral, refined\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2313\"\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2532\"\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic and biodynamic farming, hand harvested, whole cluster used as appropriate, native yeast fermentation, gentle infusion maceration, aged in old barrels and cement, minimal sulphur, unfined, unfiltered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2609\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eTerroir expressive, schist influenced, purity focused, old vine depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clos du Rouge Gorge Cyril Fhal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55324933128568,"sku":"CUVEPATR-22-RGO-RED","price":31.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Rouge_Gorge_cuvee_du_patron.png?v=1760977670"},{"product_id":"cotes-catalanes-clos-du-rouge-gorge-cyril-fhal-2019","title":"Cotes Catalanes (Villes Vignes), Clos du Rouge Gorge Cyril Fhal 2020","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"193\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003eClos du Rouge Gorge was founded in 2002 by Cyril Fhal, who left the Loire Valley to settle in Latour de France, a remote village in the Agly Valley of northern Roussillon.

He found it in Latour de France in the upper Agly Valley, a remote and windswept corner of northern Roussillon marked by ancient bush vines rooted in schist, gneiss and granite. Fhal assembled a patchwork of old parcels perched on steep terraces between 250 and 350 metres where farming is entirely manual and carried out according to organic and biodynamic principles. His aim has always been to channel purity and tension rather than the muscularity often associated with the region, working with extremely low yielding vines, native plant cover, careful pruning and meticulous harvest selection.
