Description
Le P’tit Théo from Mas Théo is a micro-macerated blend of Grenache (80%) and Syrah (20%), straddling the line between red and rosé. The fruitiness is characterised by flavours of crushed strawberries and raspberries, enhanced by a refreshing and ultra-appealing lightness. Served slightly chilled, it is sure to take pride of place at summer aperitifs and barbecues. Exceptional value for a biodynamic wine!

The estate
Nestled in the Drôme Provençale, Laurent Clapier’s family estate spans the small appellation of Grignan-lès-Adhémar. Every stage of production is carried out by hand. Over the years, Mas Théo has demonstrated its commitment to and respect for the vineyard by obtaining certification for organic farming (2004) and then biodynamics (2011).
The Mas Théo vineyard is situated on a rather exceptional terroir. Its soil consists mainly of rounded pebbles on the surface (a former Rhône beach from the Quaternary period) and a clay subsoil of varying depth. The Mistral breeze blows over the vines throughout the year. Every stage of production is carried out by hand.
