Country: France

Cyril Fhal's Clos du Rouge Gorge comes from the village of Latour-de-France whose schist and gneiss terroirs are some of the best in Roussillon. Cyril bought 5 hectares of old vineyards in 2002 having previously worked with Mark Angéli and Charlie Foucault in the Loire.
Cyril’s 'young vines' are 25-30 years old, planted in thin soils developed over upturned schist. A floral, finely tuned Grenache with a notable schist-y, mineral print and very fine grained tannins.
