Domaine Rimbert Description
This wine is an ode to Berlou’s schist soils, as the name also suggests (all while playing a double entendre with the French pronunciation of the term “masochist”). One of the domaine’s flagship cuvées, made from low-yielding vines from selected old plots around the village, all grown organically by Jean-Marie himself.
Vineyard: Selection of different schist plots of the estate, 60% old vines (50+ years old), all certified organic.
Tasting Note: Ruby in the glass with shimmering highlights. The nose is redolent with red and black fruit scents; cherry cordial, blueberry jam, and crushed stones that are backed by a slight suggestion of black olive and hummus. The palate is elegant and generous with loads of elegant red and black fruit flavors steeped in dynamic mineral-infused cocoa tones.
Pairing: Herb encrusted roast chicken, grilled steak, grilled lamb chops.
