This is a négoce wine, possibly a one-off, made with grapes purchases from a neighbour whose vines are in Espira-de-l'Agly, about 200 metres from Laurent and Melissa's Macabeu vineyard from which they make Memo. The vines in red clay are some of the earliest to be certified organic in the region. The wine is made in two parts. At first viognier was directly pressed. A few days later, while it was still fermenting, destemmed Grenache Gris was added to the juice. (This is unusual. Mostly they work with whole bunches.) After a few days it was pressed. We've classified it as 'bacerated' because of that short period on skins.
It is 40% Viognier and 60% Grenache Gris. Laurent describes the Grenache Gris as adding tension and the Viognier imparting richness, but of course tempered by the Grenache Gris. - Living Wines, Importer
