- Great match with robustly flavored dishes Italian sausage with puy lentils. To preserve its unique and natural flavor 'Les Deux Barriques' was neither fined nor filtered before bottling, so please store below 57oF (14oC) and decant before serving.
- The hallmark of 'Les Deux Barriques' is finesse not power. Explosive aromas and flavors of astonishingly ripe red fruits interlaced with mocha and seductively sweet oaky nuances crescendo in an enticingly smooth and silky palate of intricacy and surprising delicacy.
- Made from low-yielding old vines of Grenache and Carignan Noir, Syrah and Mourvedre grown in the hills above the village of Cairanne in the southern Rhone valley. Hand picked grapes are vinified only by naturally occurring yeasts, aided by manual pigeage and gentle remontage in open topped oak vats (tronconique). Les Deux Barriques is matured for 24 months in a new French oak demi-muid (6001 barrels); the wine is neither fined or filtered before bottling at Domaine Boutinot in Cairanne.
