Domaine des Barbatruks - Barbagrelot
Description
Barbagrelot, a blend of Grenache from Carpentras and Merlot from Ardèche. Assembled during the fermentation and fermented with a special technique, a kind of semi carbonic in order not to get too many tannins but a lot of fruit. So a lot of dark fruit and also some herbs and mint. Full red but friendly.
Des Barbatruks is the name for the negoce line of Maxime Lannay and Isabelle Delahaye, from Montmalin in the Jura. Besides their own vineyards, only 2 hectares, they buy some grapes from befriended winemakers in the south of France and Alsace. So they can produce just a few more bottles of Grenache, Merlot, Viognier and Auxerrois, among others.
