Tire-Bouchon VdF 2021

Domaine D'Ouréa is located in the heart of the Vaucluse department in the southern Rhône valley in Vacqueyras. The name of the domaine, situated 520m above sea level, is based on Greek mythology and refers to the god of the mountains. With a direct view of Mont Ventoux opposite and the Dentelles de Montmirail, Adrien Roustan's vineyard covers 20 hectares spread over Vacqueyras and Gigondas. The farm has been certified organic since 2012, followed by the conversion to biodynamic farming in 2020, which will be completed with the 2023 vintage.

The Tire Bouchon Red from Adrien Roustan is marketed as IGP Vaucluse and comes from a vineyard on the deposited sandbanks of the Ouvèze river. For the cuvée of 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 30% de Carignan, 10% Aramon, 10% Counoise, whole grapes were matured in barrels for six months after a short maceration period to emphasise the earthy, typical fruit of the Southern Rhône.

Transparent ruby red with light violet shimmer.

Red-fruity aromas flow from the nose and fill the nostrils with joyful fruit - cherries, elderberries and rose hips oscillate between a juicy and tart nature. In addition, there are powerful aromas of black pepper, dark tobacco and leather. Uncomplicated and stimulating, the 2021 Tire-Bouchon from Domaine d'Ourea makes you purse your lips in anticipation.

Super juicy with a tart charm on the nose, the palate delivers what the nose promises. The tannins are silky and ripe, have a contouring effect on the palate and steer the drinking flow in the right direction. A tiptop, impeccable everyday Rhône without any ifs and buts, the instructions clearly noted on the label: Cork out! The rest is self-explanatory!
