I bought this solely on the wine makers name and reputation. Never having tasted their Rhone wines before. The wine had intense aromas, marked by very ripe red fruits strawberries, raspberries, and a compote of cherries. The wine demonstrates a balanced, precise, and refreshing profile. Gloriously delicious with a long finish.
Renowned Burgundy winemakers Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot, each with over 20 years of experience, have joined forces to create exceptional wines in the Minervois region. Their choice of this area was driven by the diversity of its terroir.
At an altitude of 220 meters, similar to Vosne Romanee, the vineyards boast a foundation of limestone, clay, and sandstone, cultivating four grape varieties: Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault.
Planted with young Syrah vines on the slopes of the Ruisseau de la Vie, ‘L’O de la Vie’ cleverly plays on “eau de vie,” signifying the water of life. This wine is a testament to the collaboration between two esteemed winemakers, delivering exceptional expressions from the unique terroir of Minervois.
