60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Cinsault – all from old vines on the steep hillsides of Minervois.
Surely one of the top Rosés of the Languedoc – and on a par with many Bandols at three times its price.
As its importer explains:
André Iché inherited an impressive 13th century castle and a large estate in the barren Minervois region. Iché, now in his mid sixties and never a member of his village coop, tended his very old vines and made his wines but sold everything in bulk to local négociants. Fifteen years ago, a Burgundian winemaker happened to be in Oupia, tasted Iché’s wines, and was so enthused that he convinced Iché to bottle and market his production. Since then, Iché has become an eternal twenty-year-old.
It's also organic, and very low in sulfur.
Just plain delicious!
