Marcel Richaud has been making "natural wine" for over 40 years, since taking over from his father in the 1970s. Organic farming, low yields, hand-harvesting for perfect fruit and fermentations with wild yeasts with little or no sulfur. This wine of Marcel’s is a blend of Carignan, Syrah, Grenache, Counoise and Mourvedre on gravel, sandy, galet stone covered soils. The Terre de Galets shows lovely aromas of ripe red currant, black cherry and black raspberry with spice and violets. Very supple, fresh palate with black plum, ripe cherry liqueur, citrus and black pepper with smooth tannins and bright acidity. Very long with ripe fruits, bitter chocolate and citrusy acids lingering in the finish.
