In the Gard region of the Côtes du Rhône, Château de Montfrin spans 70 hectares of olive groves and 80 hectares of vineyards. The entire estate, situated on a terroir of rolled pebbles over clay-limestone soil, has been certified organic since 2010. This sulfite-free cuvée is inspired by a poem by Mallarmé, one of the very first typographic poems, composed in free verse, yet adhering to the strict meter of an alexandrine… This rigor is reflected in this wine. A newfound freedom, but a controlled result of great purity!
Winemaking

Grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan
Light and fruity
Alcohol: 13.5%

Serving suggestion: Serve at around 15°C (59°F), with poultry, white meats, or braised red meats.
