Early
2006 report
Thus far, the 2006
growing season has been very good. If all holds through harvest, this may
be the best vintage from this area in quite some time. I can report that
the white grapes from Couillade are ripening beautifully and will be
picked the weeks of August 28th and September 4th.. Therefore we look
forward to introducing our first white (the un-chardonnay), perhaps as
early as the Spring of 2007.

Available wines
In September 2006, we will bring to the United
States, 250 cases of the Sanglier Volant - Cotes Catalanes which will be
made from 80% old vines grenache and 20% Carignan from the Bac and
Couillades vineyards.
In late Spring, 2007, we will introduce 100
cases of our first white wine from Couillade des Marchands We are also
happy to report that we have harvested about a barrel of wine from
our special project, La Florine. Therefore, about 25 cases of this 70%
old-vines Grenache and 30% Grenache Gris and Carignan Blanc will be held
in old barrels and released sometime in 2007. Watch for it. It is
exceptional. |
