‘Un Songe d'Iris’
Grenache Gris, Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Cinsault, Languedoc, FranceÂ
A pensive, stirring & zero-zero representation of what can be created from southern France’s rich terroirs. Welcome to the cool, new, South-of-France cat in town, Joe Jefferies! After moving from England (due to a case of the LOVE BUG) to settle in the village of Caux, Joe has taken up some handsome vines residing on old lava flows from a long extinct volcano in the area. A (20%) blend of vivacious grenache gris, the rich-greeness of grenache blanc & the spicy florality of grenache noir all from 2019, melded with (80%) grenache gris, noir & savoury cinsault from 2020. The basalt soils seem to have their claws dug deep across this whole lineup, with inexhaustible mineral freshness, how ScrUmPtiOuS! All of the grapes were given a six day maceration, and co-fermented in each vintage to promote lasting cohesion & tender tannins. A tension wielding wonder with a backbone of underripe raspberry acidity, whiffs of breezy and well integrated VA (volatile acidity), hot dust, dark flowers, cherry and pit, fresh herb harvest, ensnaring tannins & an enviable concentration like a 23-year-old learning to do their taxes. Enjoy while reading anything by Aaron Ayscough.
