We escaped from London in 2014, Victoria being an artist and I (Fergus) a cook. It is thanks to the gastronomic collaborations around the wine fair “Les quilles de Joie”, which takes place in Souvignargues each November, that we have had the opportunity to get into wine in the most natural way possible. There we worked on the tapas side for the salon which is managed by winegrowers among them Thierry Forestier, Laurent Bagnol and Olivier Pichon. It is thanks to the Moulin Brothers, peasant winegrowers in Ville Vieille, that we rent 30 ares of old Grenache which are found on the sandstones in Souvignargues. This one on clay-limestone soil, full of organic matter, which retains water well. The vines have the capacity to produce copious fruits, so for us the expression of the vine is found in a lightly worked wine and on the fruit. Being such a small area we mainly work by hand. We clean around the vines with the billhook and the brush cutter, a friend comes twice a year with the tractor to plow shallow. The treatments are carried out with a backpack sprayer. We try to limit my interventions with sulfur and copper to the minimum. We ferment a manure of nettles and horsetail and also we treat horn dung in spring and autumn The harvest is carried out by hand in a box. The vinifications are carried out in a natural way using indigenous yeasts. In order to accentuate the fruit side, a cold maceration is done followed by carbonic maceration in whole bunches. The bunches are pressed in a hand press, the aging takes place in a stainless steel tank.
