Domaine Fond Cypres Le Grenache du Bois Saint Jaume
Country: France
Region: Corbieres
Grapes: Grenache
Vintage: 2020
Fond Cyprès was born in the early 2000s when married couple Laetitia and Rodolphe purchased their 15ha vineyard in Escales in northern Corbières. After striking up a friendship with none other than Frédéric Cossard in 2004, they made the decision to work as naturally as possible, both in vineyard and cellar, and since 2006 their land has been certified organic.
This is Grenache from the Bois Saint Jaume parcel which is surrounded by olive trees and forest, situated at a higher altitude and with sandier soils than the rest of the property. Aged in large foudre it has elegant texture and balance, with a touch of ripe red and black fruits and a spicy, earthy note. Superbly poised and harmonious.
