2022 Les Valseuses "Ashes to Ashes"

"Ashes to Ashes" is a dramatically named red wine from Les Valseuses, crafted from very old Grenache vines rooted deep in the volcanic soils of Faugères, Languedoc. Winemakers Antoine Le Court-Chedevergne and Julia Naar meticulously source these organic/biodynamic grapes before transporting them to their Jura cellar. The unique vinification involves a significant three-month whole-cluster maceration followed by one year of aging in neutral fiberglass tanks. This process extracts profound colour and flavour intensity while retaining the grape’s inherent freshness. The resulting wine is powerfully complex yet light, exhibiting the signature vibrant acidity and zippy energy of Les Valseuses, bottled with absolute purity (zero sulphur, fining, or filtration).  

Aroma & Palate | A complex red defined by volcanic intensity, yet light and lively. The nose reveals herbal notes, warm spices, and volcanic minerality. The palate offers light elegance with good structure and complex depth. Despite its low alcohol (11%), it is powerful and focused, with vibrant acidity and classic Grenache fruit expression balanced by the mineral-driven finish.
