Made only when our assemblage tastings of La Côte Sauvage reveal two outstanding barrels - 'Deux Barriques' - that merit bottling in their own right.

We produce ‘Les Deux Barriques’ only when we feel the vintage has given something special; only when the results of our tastings show that we have two outstanding barrels. 2019 is one such vintage.

Made from low-yielding old vine Grenache, Carignan Noir, Syrah and Mourvèdre grown on hillside vineyards above the village of Cairanne, ‘Les Deux Barriques’ 2019 was matured for up to 24 months in large French oak barrels and neither fined nor filtered before bottling.

The slopes above the village of Cairanne are be-decked with treasure troves of well-established vineyards steeped in the classic terroir of ‘agrilo-calcaire’ (chalky clay) and bristling with parcels of low-yielding old vines.

Hand-picked grapes are vinified only by natural wild yeasts and aided by manual pigeage and gentle remontage. Matured for up to 24 months in old French oak demi-muids (600l barrels).
