100% Grenache

Anne-Charlotte Mélia Bachas' vineyards stretch across the lieux-dits of Font du Loup and La Crau (made famous for the vines of Vieux Telegraphe and Henri Bonneau) in the village of Courthézon. The soils are typically covered in the large galets sitting over loam and the limestone deep beneath the surface but Anne-Charlotte's vines sit upon the even more desirable sandy soils of the region. She attributes the more savory complex nuances found in her wines to these special soils. The "Puy Rolland" is a single parcel on north facing slopes from vines planted in 1905. It is 100% Grenache that is brought up in large neutral foudre (oak casks) and stainless steel. It is one of the purist expressions of a site available in the region.
