Romain Le Bars, a natural winemaker based in Tavel, in the Gard, is a young talent whose reputation continues to grow from year to year. It is already recognized worldwide, although it has only recently launched. His rise can be attributed in part to his experience of almost 7 years with Eric Pfifferling, winemaker of the famous L'Anglore. In 2018, Romain embarked on the wine adventure with only 1.20 hectares of vines, making wine in his small garage. Today, he farms around ten hectares and has a slightly larger cellar, but still imbued with this artisanal approach.

Vinification: The winemaking involves a 10-12 day whole-cluster carbonic maceration in large barrels (muid) or old casks, followed by aging in barrels and vats before bottling with minimal or no added sulfur.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Intense aromatic notes of crushed raspberries, wild strawberries, and sweet spices, with delicate floral nuances.

Palate: A silky texture and smooth tannins, offering a perfect balance of roundness and lively energy, with a crisp, juicy, and light palate. It is described as having a red fruit and bubblegum character with some stemmy spiciness.

Pairings: Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, red meat dishes, charcuterie, or a classic boeuf bourguignon. It is a versatile red wine that can be enjoyed slightly chilled.

Grape: Cinsault, Grenache

Region: Rhone
