Domaine de Piaugier Cotes du Rhone Villages-Sablet 'Tenebi'

'100% Counoise, from clay, sand and silt based-soil. 55-year-old vines with a 40 hl/ha yield. Grapes are hand-harvested then undergo a 28-day fermentation period in cement tank, with no destemming. Matured in barrel for 2 winters and bottled in the spring without filtration. This unique grape variety has a profile all its own: boysenberry and cocoa marry perfectly with white pepper and notes of garrigues. Try it with cassoulet or smoked duck.' - Importer's Notes
