Presentation of the Coume Gineste cuvée:

Coume Gineste 2012 is a cuvée produced by the Gauby estate from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes. This wine is made from grapes from vines around 70 years old, grown on clay-limestone soil. Coume Gineste is a wine of character, fruity and spicy, which offers a beautiful aromatic complexity.

This wine comes from vines cultivated according to organic-biological agriculture. The idea is to consider the farm as an organism in which the life cycle has priority. This way of working prohibits any chemical and synthetic product, respecting the soil-plant-animal-human chain of action. This bottle is the result of the symbiosis between man and his terroir. Bottling is done by gravity, without fining or filtration. A slight natural gas in its youth and a noble deposit during its evolution are the signs of a lively wine.

About Coume Gineste 2012:

The grapes were aged in oak barrels for 18 months, which allowed them to develop a beautiful tannic structure. The wine offers aromas of black fruits, spices and liquorice, as well as a nice length in the mouth. Thanks to its tannic structure, it benefits from substantial aging potential.
