Tresmontaine 'Puits Aux Souhaits' Rancio Sec
Product image may differ from the actual product.
Rancio Sec of Grenache Noir and Grenache Gris from one of the most famous terroirs and grower-producers, Bernard Saperas of Domaine Vial-Magneres. Sadly, this wine is Bernard's final rancio sec, due to his passing; the phrase "puits aux souhaits" (wishing well) is an image from his own writings. Bernard was a fanatic for rancio sec, actually diverting grapes from Banyuls production (i.e. overripe grenache) to oxidize through heating in glass jugs, and aged for 7 years in old rancio Banyuls casks. Fabulously intricate, with just a hint of red fruit among the mouthwatering acidity and waxy, nutty complexity. Endless on the finish, and shelf-stable after opening.
