I'm not going to make the game too easy word to the name of Sylvain. It would be inappropriate. This man has built a solid reputation and, to drink, wines you say how much his work is well done. It is pushed there by more than 5 generations.
And then it becomes a habit for me, I had the right to a quick hello from Sylvain. For some reason, I spent much time with Desiree. Will he, again, resist the sweet desire to make a pun easy? She has a beautiful charming accent of Spain who will enchant when you speak of the wines and also when you said: "I like natural things, free things." Beautiful entry in before tasting the wines beautifully highlighted in the original bottles to the curve, highlighted by labels always accurate and efficient.
The area lies in one of the main streets of Montpeyroux. A wine village, typical of the Languedoc , with its rows of winegrowers' houses and large houses dotted here and there, among the vineyards or in the heart of the village. The land overlooks a plateau, halfway between the plain of the Hérault and the foothills of the Cevennes and its peak: Mount Saint Baudille. The more we advance towards the mountain and the higher up on the terraces where the vines occupy the entire space.
The field of Aupilhac working organic certified over 25 ha, although it does not show it on the bottles. The approach has always been organic, here, long before the fashion movement and now the basic movement. In the words desired, "it is not static, we look, we change. It fits like with La Boda we realize now in big barrels. Found a cooper works exactly as you want. He comes there and eaten with us in the cellar. That's how we started this vintage. We must evolve if it is not funny! "And then to add" us what we want is to return the land , the person who tasted our wines will say, like it's fruity, c ' Cherry is, it's Montpeyroux. That's what's the terroir ".
So the tasting, we find indeed all this work on their acidity, this made very thin and hungry, either with old vines of Carignan which we take care of the soil by plowing regularly to the roots deep into the mineral, or with younger vines but at higher altitudes and less exposed to the sun for as Cocalières .
Everything is done naturally, no fertilizers, no pesticides, a wine with yeasts of the vineyard, all in an underground cellar full of old casks and barrels, more or less young.
The Boda is assessed after waiting a few years when the tannins have melted. The Boda , which means marriage, wedding, in Spanish, is the union of two regions, one of the terraces perched Cocalières and that of the village and its very old vines. The buildup of the bottle exemplifies this commitment to diversity. : The ring with both color and label with the logo of the top vintages of Aupilhac and below the logo cocalières . Desiree did not say me but I thought that this course could also be the vintage of their union with both, as a proof of love in a burst of work.
