Brilliant onion skin. Discreet red berry and citrus fruit aromas take on floral and spice accents with aeration. Light-bodied and taut on the palate, offering tangy red currant and cranberry flavors and a snap of bitter orange zest. Finishes clean and nervy, with good length and a late herbal note.
Isle Saint-Pierre is a small island in the middle of the Rhone River, just 25km south of Arles and 15km from the sea. The vineyards, planted at the very heart of the Camargue region, stretch over 170 hectares around the island. The vines benefit from the deep, sandy alluvial soils, and summer’s heat is tempered by the proximity to the sea and wetlands surrounding the island. The recurrent winds of the Mistral help keep the vines clean and free of rot and other diseases. It’s a flat land, rich in the “good life,” with salty-rich, fresh off the boat seafood and simple but charming wines.
