L'egrappille ZiD(u) 2021
Minervois, France
Syrah, Gamay
13% ABV.
Catherine Dumora makes unforgettable wines from her plots of old, low-yielding vines in the hills above Lamontgie in the Auvergne, but in recent years has also made some great cuvees from negoce fruit. This comes from negoce syrah and gamay from Minervois during a year in which Catherine lost a lot of her domaine fruit.
Grown on a blend of clay, sand and silt that gives a different structure to the wine – more tightly woven and sinewy than the deep and generous wines grown by Catherine in the Auvergne, with a more restrained and earthen expression of fruit. Dark – more inky and serious fruit than black olive and game – with intense freshness. Very pure, this has a core of direct acidity that gives the palate drive and nerve.
