Domaine Bories Jefferies - Brutal VdF 2014
Milky rusty purple. Stewed fruit. Wild clover honey, treacle. Bee fest. Raisinated raisins. The freshest Amarone. The cork was totally leaking, capsule stuck all around. Stunning bottle.
Almost 100% Grenache Noir with a little Terret, a white grape to take off the edge. Grown on a volcanic plateau in the Languedoc. Jo Jeffries is an Englishman who came to the South of France and never left.
Absolute minimal intervention. No fining, filter or added sulphur. "If I was baking a cake at home, I wouldn't put additives in it, so I don't put them in my wine either" he says. Another cracking natural wine made for the Brutal Wine Co project.
