This wine is a myriad of jams and candied red fruits with a warmth that’s echoed in the sunset-colored eyes of the Grand Duke – a curvaceous bird with silky feathers. The Grand Duke, the sage of this valley in Southern France, knows how to adapt to his environment. This Carignan-Grenache blend is made from 40 to 80 year old vines with deep roots and a long history. With silky tannins, this wine is bold and soft like this majestic vineyard creature.

Delicious With

Pairs well with rich, flavorful dishes like grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses. It also goes well with Mediterranean cuisine like Ratatouille, roasted eggplant, spiced lamb kebabs, charcuterie, and dark chocolate. 

Their Cred

From the domaine, “We only occupy our children’s land for a while. So it’s up to us to take care of it, to be as honest as possible with ourselves about the choices we make, as simple as possible, and as respectful of this wealth in order to be able to transmit this heritage in its most beautiful spirit.”

Domaine Blanc Plume was born from the idea of the resilience of nature and the need to return to more respectful agricultural fundamentals, and they are convinced of the benefits of biodynamics on their soils and vines, as well as by the return of animal traction for working the soil of the oldest vines (80 years old). The vineyard is located in the heart of the future Corbières Fenouillèdes Regional Natural Park which is home to 47 species of birds protected by a European directive including the Milan Royal, an eagle with a white feather.

Like an author’s wine, the baptismal name “Blanc Plume” also evokes for them the writer’s pen and the white of the page. Each new vintage is a new page for them to write and tell about. Raphaël Colin’s project consists of practicing winemaking, in concrete egg in particular, through a biodynamic and natural approach. The vineyard received Demeter certification 2020.
