Winemaker
Catherine Roque farms Mas d'Alezon biodynamically. Her attention to the estate's high vineyards reflects a belief in allowing the character of the ground to lead.
Wine
Le Presbytère brings Cinsault, Lledoner Pelut and Carignan into a fresh, open red. Red berries and herbs, with supple fruit and a dry, stony finish. The wine is approachable, but not anonymous. Bring it to the table with roast chicken, grilled peppers or a lamb dish, and give it a little cooling on a warm day.
Origin
Mas d'Alezon occupies elevated schist vineyards in Faugères. Height brings a cooler rhythm to this southern landscape. Le Presbytère carries that combination of Mediterranean ripeness and upland freshness in a particularly easy form.
