Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.

Caviste
Terrain Vague’s Molotov from Fitou in Languedoc offers a bold blend of Macabeo and Syrah, crafted through a short yet dynamic maceration. The wine starts with Macabeo on its skins for about six days; Syrah joins on day four for two days of co-maceration, then everything is pressed and rests briefly in stainless steel. Known as the “Trempette” method, this process brings out delicate orange-rosé hues and fragrant notes of orange blossom, rose petals, and bright citrus. Hints of strawberry jam and subtle baking spices add a playful complexity. The result is a lively wine that balances floral aromas and fresh fruit flavors in a soft, approachable style. Ideal for anyone curious about an unconventional yet delicious take on a southern French rosé, Molotov is proof that a little experimentation can lead to something truly memorable.
