Les Chemins de Bassac is an old Languedoc estate created in the 19th century, now run by young Brazilian architects Thama and Bruno Triguero who relocated to pursue their dream to make wine, it has been organic for more than 30 years and biodynamic since 2017.
A Deriva is an elegant blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Syrah fermented with native yeasts in concrete. It's a beautifully aromatic red with delicate aromas of cherry, violet and sweet spices. Ripe but fresh on the palate, with sweet red fruit and some mouth coating tannins.
