Jean-Marie Rimbert, a native of Provence, arrived in the Languedoc nearly 25 years ago & managed the vineyards at Château de Flaugergues for 5 years until he saved up enough to purchase his first parcels of gnarled ancient Carignan vines that had been nurtured in schist-laden soils for the better part of the last century. From the beginning, his objective was to cultivate vineyards with the utmost respect for the environment & his wines reflect all of the natural beauty, depth & flavor from those vines. The wines Jean-Marie crafts are a passionate testament to this region's multidimensional & ever-expanding potential.
This tasty, chillable 100% Cinsault is bursting with aromas & flavors of tart red cherries, wild strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and sweet spices. It is medium bodied, crunchy & finishes with mountain herbs, crushed rock & peppery spice. The wine is named after winemaker Jean-Marie Rimbert’s girlfriend’s cousin, who is apparently a huge ladies man.
