{"product_id":"red-grenache-languedoc-roussillon","title":"Red | Grenache | Languedoc-Roussillon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ruhlmann-Schutz family, already well known for their Alsatian wines, acquired the Château Valmont estate in Peyriac-de-Mer in 2016, seeking to build a Corbières counterpart to their generous collection of Alsace whites. The 30-hectare property sits in the maritime Corbières, close to the Bages lagoons and sandwiched between garrigue scrubland and pine forest, with clay-limestone soils that force vine roots deep underground for extra concentration. The estate has been in organic conversion since its acquisition and holds HVE Level 3 certification, the highest tier of France's environmental standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgassa is made from 100% Grenache, a variety prized in the Corbières for the generosity and roundness it brings to a blend, but here bottled on its own to let its character shine unblended. Grown on the estate's sun-drenched, wind-swept parcels, where the tramontana wind and coastal sea breeze help keep the vines healthy through the growing season, the grapes ripen fully while retaining freshness. Expect a vibrant ruby color, a nose of ripe red berries and garrigue herbs, and a soft, plush palate with gentle tannins and a warm, fruit-driven finish typical of single-varietal Grenache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a pure, generous expression of Grenache from a family better known for their Alsatian roots, now firmly at home on the Mediterranean coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Wine Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42633737764946,"sku":"3-6-2023","price":28.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/davidswinecellar.com\/products\/red-grenache-languedoc-roussillon","provider":"David's Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
