Very balanced and fresh wine revealing notes of lily flowers on the nose. On the palate, a beautiful freshness, a very rich balance, silky tannins. Pleasant wine and immediate pleasure, all accompanied by wild berries.
A Grand Côtes du Rhône and hidden gem of the portfolio, the Serine 2012 sports an inky purple color which is accompanied by numerous aromas of mineralized black fruits, pepper, ground herbs and smoke. Medium-bodied, concentrated, rich and chewy, this wine should be drunk over the next 3 to 5 years.
Montirius, a 58 hectare estate has been converted to organic dynamism since 1996, in the AOC Vacqueyras, AOC Gigondas and AOC Côtes du Rhône appellations. Since 1999, all the wines have been made from grapes grown organically and biodynamically, with the Domaine becoming the first vineyard certified in Biodynamic farming in the Vacqueyras and Gigondas appellations. Montirius is thus located in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, under the gaze of Mont Ventoux. If you are lucky enough to go to Montirius, you will notice that the place exudes an air of sweet southern tranquility.
Montirius is the contraction of the first names of the 3 children of Christine & Eric Saurel: MON (Manon) + TI (Justine) + RIUS (Marius). It has been a family estate for 5 generations, located in the south of the Rhône Valley in the AOC Vacqueyras Gigondas appellations. In 1980, Max Saurel, Eric's father, stopped using chemical fertilizers, already sensing their negative effects on soil and people. Eric, who has been working on the estate for 26 years, is constantly seeking the right balance to obtain great local wines. He converted the estate to Bio-Dynamic cultivation in 1996 before building his new cellar in 2002.
