La Douleur Exquise 2019 Grenache Pays d’Oc IGP, France

Description

The 2020 International Women’s Wine Competition is one of the few wine competitions held just before the world hit pause on social gatherings. We are thrilled to have earned the accolades of 95 points and Double Gold and to be named “Best of Class” by women winemakers, influencers, and industry legends. If that weren’t enough to lend credibility to our winemaking team, perhaps winning 98 points and Double Gold at the 2020 Sunset Magazine International Wine Competition does. Fruit planted in this region experiences an extremely hot climate that is mitigated by dry afternoon winds. This environment, along with limestone and clay soils, creates an idyllic atmosphere for varietals prone to disease and a bit on the finicky side. Made in a unique combination of Old World and New World styles, this Grenache is fruit-forward and incredibly approachable. Our French Grenache breaks from that tradition with our 2019 vintage, featuring rousingly prominent fruit flavors in this classic French varietal.
