AbstractRed fruit, herbs, fine tannin

Winemaker
Delphine and Julien Zernott chose the high valley below the Larzac for Domaine du Pas de l'Escalette. Organic farming and close observation of each vineyard underpin their work.

Wine
Red fruit and a herbal edge, with fine tannin and a fresh, supple palate. Southern flavour carried without heaviness. Drink with lamb skewers, roast vegetables or a simple pot of lentils; a modest chill will bring the fruit into focus.

Origin
The vineyards sit beneath the Larzac plateau, among limestone scree and dry-stone walls. Height and valley air offer a cooler perspective on the Languedoc. That setting gives the red grapes a useful balance between ripeness and acidity.
