France ➜ Roussillon 12.8% ABV

‘La Cuvée Peyre’—‘the stone wine’ in the Occitan dialect of its historic denizens—is a wine of place, of terroir. Farmed organically and harvested from the Bourrel family's schist-laden Espanel vineyard in the high, windswept Agly Valley of northwest Roussillon, the cepage is a reflection of the vintage and is always drawn from traditional varieties: Grenache blanc, Grenche gris, Macabeu, and increasingly Vermentino (Rolle). Fermentation and elevage are in INOX, with 5-6 months on the lees, and it is bottled without added sulfites, heightening the wine’s transparent expression. Full details
