Domaine Duseigneur "La Goutte du Seigneur" Rouge 2023

Tight blackcurrant, red currant, red cherry is gripped with a graphite minerality, and fine, lightly sticky tannins. Acidity is bright, easily freshening its 14% alcohol content. Refreshing and approachable.

The name of this organic and biodynamically farmed cuvée refers to the winemaker's family name, translating as "Drop of the Lord." It underwent two weeks of maceration in concrete tank before a native ferment, and saw no time in oak.

Hailing from a familly of winemakers settled in Saint Laurent des Arbres on the other side of the Rhône, Bernard Duseigneur took charge of Domaine Duseigneur in 2002. After an investment banker experience in the City, Bernard reconnected with his Mediterranean roots by continuing his father’s and brother’s work on the left bank of the Rhône in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In a partnership since 2007 with Philippe Faure-Brac, elected the world’s best sommelier in 1992, Bernard has had the privilege of working with one of the world’s finest wine connoisseurs who also possesses a true passion for terroirs and winemakers.
