Lo Vielh
2018
Region: Minervois, Languedoc, France
Grapes: Carignan
Vineyard/Cellar: Organic. Unfined, unfiltered, very low added sulphur.
About: Clos du Gravillas is the project of Nicole and John Bojanowski, based on 8 hectares of organically farmed vines in the Parc Naturel de Haut Languedoc. Soils here are calcium carbonate and the altitude is 300 metres. Lo Vielh is from a parcel of Carignan planted in 1911. Aged in old barrels, the wine is intense and complex but manages to be fresh and vivid. A real stunner.
