Dom Brial, Gamme CHR - Caviste, ETREINTE, AOP Côtes du Roussillon, Rouge, 2024

Presentation

Presentation
Founded in 1923 in Baixas, a small Catalan village, the Vignobles Dom Brial bring together 200 proud and committed winemakers. These enthusiasts generously cultivate their terroirs in the continuity of their spiritual master Dom Brial, a Benedictine monk, a child of the village, and a benefactor of the municipality. Recognized for their know-how, they maintain and share, through the sweat of their brows, small arid and stony plots over nearly 2000 hectares. Committed and responsible, they are labeled Engaged Winemakers.
The vintage
The 2023 vintage in Roussillon reflects the resilience of the vines in the face of extreme weather conditions, with a historically low harvest but concentrated and high-quality grapes. The wines produced promise richness, balance, and exceptional aging potential, a testament to the expertise of the Dom Brial winemakers.
