An organic blend of Carignan, Mourvèdre and Grenache, Indécent expresses bold fruit with notes of spice and wood. The sultry flavors linger with an extra long finish. The 80-year-old Carignan vines impart the rich character of this biodynamic domaine’s distinct terroir.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Domaine La Bouysse is located in the heart of the Corbières Mountains, near the Mediterranean and the famous Fontfroide Abbey in the village of Saint-André-de-Roquelongue.
The domaine covers 40 hectares, with 80-year-old Carignan vines, 25-year-old Mourvèdre, and 20-year-old Grenache Noir. The vines benefit from the sandstones of the Fontfroide terroir and the clay-limestone soils of the Boutenac terroir. Farming practices are biodynamic and organic.
Production Notes
The grapes are handpicked and sorted. Vinification takes place in open barrels with daily punching down for 1 month. Aging lasts for 16 months in demi-muids of 600 liters.
Winemaker Notes
Fourth generation winemakers, Martine Pages and Christophe Molinier, took over Domaine la Bouysse in 1996 after both obtaining degrees in oenology. Martine studied in Alsace and brings finesse In winemaking to all of her cuvées.
Food Pairing Notes
