NV Domaine Gris des Bauries Les Chaix

12 hectare estate located Taulignan in Drôme Provençale, on the hills leading down to the Rhone Valley. A variety of soils (sandy, some clay and limestone) bring great complexity to the wines. Organic since 2010.

Bright purple.  Raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a hint of rose in the background. Juicy and precise, with sweet red fruit flavors and good tangy lift.  Refreshingly brisk if a bit hard-edged, finishing with good cut and a touch of licorice.
