"100% Grenache grown on sandy decomposed gneiss soils - is perfumed, with fresh crushed raspberries and fine, soft, silky tannins. 2020 was a difficult year - unusually they had mildew, so Chansault picked early to avoid the rains, and it's paid off: low extraction and concrete tanks have given great finesse."

"Pale and smelling of pressed red petals, pink peppercorns, baharat spice and sweet, smoky chipotle. Everything about this wine has a quiet (almost humble) glow of loveliness about it, including the sweet, cinnamon-spiced strawberry fruit, but what I most love is the texture, followed by the freshness – so distinctive that before I looked up the winemaking notes, I jotted down, ‘was this made in eggs or concrete?’. If you’ve ever worked at a potter’s wheel and felt the cool slick of clay curving in your hands, leaned so close to it that you’re almost drinking in the smell, you’ll know what I mean when I describe the texture as fine, fine wet clay. The freshness is so close to that, almost the same. The smell of wet clay is strangely mouth-watering, strangely cooling. (...)" Altre Cami Grenache Noir 2020

Tasting notes
Intense with a luminous ruby colour and garnet nuances, the nose reveals elegant notes of ripe black fruits and fresh red fruits, notes of black cherries and raspberry. Complex spicy notes and fine mineral smoky touches, a light and elegant infusion at low temperature.
The palate is soft and light, the fruity and gourmet flavours dominate. Mineral and smoky touches bring freshness and highlight beautiful tender and perfectly integrated tannins.
The result is balanced with a persistent long finish.
