2023 Puech Auriol
In Stock
This Mediterranean pale rosé surprises with its liveliness, its fruity and floral notes! Spectacularly fresh, full of blackcurrant, citrus, and rose in the nose, and leads to a vibrant and bright mouth feel, full of acidity, brambly berries, and a clean and expressive finish. The mouth, long, ends with a slightly pearly finish.
A wonderful rosé to drink in the sun, or to pair with fatty cheese, fatty meats, or grilled fish.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
When Stéphane and his wife Cécile fell in love with the Languedoc they saved their vines from being plowed up. The terroir includes limestone enriched with ancient oyster fossils. All farming is done organically with the minimal intervention in the field.
Production Notes
The grapes are destemmed and crushed with a bit of bioprotection, and then spend about 3-4 hours macerating without sulfites before a gravity vatting. After this bleed, the blend spontaneously ferments in stainless steel tanks, and is racked 10 days after it’s complete, only having started malolactic to give a bit of round texture to the palate.
Winemaker Notes
Stéphane and his wife Cécile met when they were studying agricultural engineering. Their fates became further entwined when they created Domaine Vila Voltaire after purchasing the home of a winegrower and saving the vineyard of old, low-yielding vines that was slated for destruction. Their first vines were century-old Carignan, Syrah and Grenache in the AOC Saint Chinian. Stéphane is a well regarded oenologue traveling throughout Europe to advise winemakers and now he has his own magnificent cuveés!
Food Pairing Notes
A wonderful rosé to drink in the sun, or to pair with fatty cheese, fatty meats, or grilled fish.
