Domaine du Pas de l'Escalette, 'Les Petits Pas' Red Blend

2023

Languedoc, France

40 Grenache/40 Syrah/20 Carignan

As a certified organic and biodynamic producer, Domaine du Pas de L'Escalette features exclusively southern French varietals, like the Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan that make up this fresh and fruit-driven red. Their grapes are cultivated in a network of limestone plateaus ideal for winemaking in the Larzac region. ‘Les Petite Pas’ is named for the winemakers’ two young sons and features the boys’ footprints on the label, as their operation is truly a family affair. This full-bodied red boasts notes of earth and oak with red cherry, leather, and a smooth finish. Enjoy this with a hearty mushroom cassoulet or cured game meats, like wild boar.
