Un Vent De Folie Côtes Du Roussillon-Villages 2011

Vent de Folie has Mark Hoddy written all over it! It'shis baby through and through, due to his unswerving passion for the Roussillon , a fascination for the power and intensity of flavours from the tiny knots of fruit it barely produces that dare call themselves grapes. Whenever he'sabsent from Le Chai, you know exactly where you,ll find him , on the rugged slopes of the Roussillon. Maury is the finest area for grapes , its slate terroir and gnarled old vines, buffeted by the wind and scorched by the sun, produce yields of around 8 hectolitres per hectare.Grenache with a touch of Syrah and Carignan, the wine'sbeen aged for over a year in French oak at Le Chai. It'svery big, warming and rich. Enjoy with hearty meat dishes or roasts.
