"Premiers Pas" Vin de France, Dom. les 2 Ânes (Languedoc, France) 2022

Premier Pas means "first step" in French and this was indeed the first wine produced by a talented husband-and-wife team after they'd moved to Corbières in the Languedoc-Roussillon. A natural, completely organic wine with no sulfites added, this shows ripe blackberry fruit with underlying herbal layers and cocoa notes. It's medium-bodied and great for any time of year. A blend of mostly Carignan and some Grenache Noir fermented in whole clusters.
