Domaine des Accoles Gryphe 2019

Pure Carignan, vines over 50 and 60 years old, planted on a clay-limestone terroir with fossil oysters. A powerful, elegant wine.
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.
