Domaine des Accoles Chapelle des Accoles 2019

Chapelle des Accoles is a blend of old Grenache and Carignan vines. Cabernet and Syrah with a few touches of more local varieties such as Couston and Aubun. Notes of black fruit, faded roses, violets and spices, with supple, mouth-watering tannins. A caress on the palate. The expression of southern terroirs
Florence and Olivier Leriche took care of Domaine Arlot in Nuits St Georges for 13 years. However, the lure of their roots was too great and they relocated to the Rhône valley. They discovered an ideally located group of vineyards in Saint-Marcel d’ Ardèche and in 2011 Domaine des Accoles saw the light of day. They focus on biodynamic and naturally vinified wines, pure terroir wines raised in used barrels from Domaine de l’Arlot. This is followed by a very long rest period ‘en masse’ to stabilise the wines.
