Clos du Rouge Gorge was founded in 2002 by Cyril Fhal after he left the Loire Valley in search of a landscape capable of delivering delicacy, depth and a quietly expressive form of southern French character. 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.
