Pierre Bories is part of the family behind Château Ollieux Romanis, a historic estate in the Corbières with a particular affection for Carignan. His approach to winemaking is deliberately uncomplicated: organically farmed fruit, native yeasts and minimal intervention. The Petit Fantet wines are made for immediate enjoyment, but there is a serious commitment to vineyard work behind their easy going character. The name itself refers to a little tractor in Occitan, an appropriately unpretentious nod to the agricultural roots of the project.
Made from old vine Carignan, Grenache Noir and Syrah grown on the sun drenched slopes around Fabrezan, this is a generous, fruit forward expression of the Languedoc. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before spontaneous fermentation, with regular pump overs to build colour and structure. Bottled without added sulphur and aged in temperature controlled tanks, the wine retains plenty of freshness despite the warmth of its origins. Expect black cherry, plum and dark berry fruit, lifted by thyme, rosemary and cracked pepper. Juicy and generous, with supple tannins and a satisfying savoury finish.
