Soif du Mal Rouge, Domaine des Foulards Rouges 2019

Jean-François Nicq took over the domaine in 2002. It was then ten hectares and he planted a further two on beautiful schist and gneiss (very gneiss) slopes. In his first year he began the conversion to organic viticulture. In his previous job he vinified the wines at the co-op in the Cotes du Rhone (Estezargues) where he worked without sulphur and maintained this practice of natural winemaking at Foulards for his first vintage.

The nose has notes of cherry and raspberry. The palate is clean with a few spicy notes to top off a superb tableau of flavours, this is a very drinkable wine.
