Agathe de Blouge

Agathe de Blouge is a light red with an unusual twist: it is made from Chardonnay and Grenache Noir in equal parts. This “blouge” style sits somewhere between white and red in spirit, giving a wine that feels fresh, juicy and easy to drink rather than heavy.

The grapes grow on limestone silt and basalt soils, and the wine is aged in stainless steel to keep its direct fruit character. Expect a bright redcurrant-juice colour, with notes of redcurrant, fresh plum, cherry, raspberry and a touch of ripe fruit. On the palate it is clean and lively, with gentle minerality and a small bitter note on the finish.

Made organically and with no added sulfites, it may show a slight natural fizz when opened. Serve it a little cool, around 14°C, with roast beef, lightly cooked red meat, or simply as the bottle to open when you want something easy and different.
