Mourchon's very talented winemaker, Sébastien, is a Gigondas native and knows everyone in the village. A few years ago, I mentioned to him that I wished Mourchon made a Gigondas, and he told me he'd be happy to craft one for us using a secret source from one of his vigneron friends. I thought he was joking—until a sample arrived. Fantastic stuff! And he still won't tell me where he sources it from... It's obviously someone very good.
This selection of the best tanks of Sablet is produced only in select vintages. Very terroir-driven, structured and earthy. The kind of wine that could only come from the Southern Rhone!
Soils/Terroir: From the ‘Les Rouères’ vineyard on sandy clay and limestone soils.
Farming: Practicing Organic
Harvest: Hand harvested
Yield: 30 hl/ha
Winemaking: The grapes were hand harvested and gently pressed upon arrival in the cellar. After one night of cold settling the juice was transferred to used 400L French oak barrels (40%), and a new 12hl Vicard oak vat for fermentation. The fermentation began spontaneously using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. No battonage is done and the wine completes malolactic fermentation.
Maturation: Aged 12 months in used 400L French oak barrels (40%), and a new 12hl Vicard oak vat. 1 month before bottling the juice was transferred to stainless-steel tanks and a low dose of sulfur added.
