Description
The Duchy of Uzès Les Toiles du Domaine Agarrus
combines richness and body without the slightest hint of excessive concentration. Behind a deep colour and a powerful nose of ripe red and black fruits lies a model of balance. The freshness is striking, the fruit expression is exhilarating, all underpinned by perfectly integrated tannins.
A natural approach in the service of the terroir
A Syrah-dominated cuvée (75%) complemented by Grenache (20%) and Cinsault (5%). Clay-limestone terroir on hillsides, bordering the garrigue in the commune of Vallabrix, 7 km north of Uzès in the Gard. The vineyard is managed without weedkillers, chemical fertilisers or synthetic products. Only sulphur, copper sulphate and a few herbal infusions (nettle, horsetail, dandelion flower, etc.) and essential oils are used.
The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates and undergo an initial sorting in the vineyard. The grapes are 100% destemmed, placed in vats and vinified exclusively with indigenous yeasts. The grape varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel vats, plot by plot. Fermentation takes place at a low temperature (around 17°C) with daily pumping over and punching down to gently extract colour and tannins.
