he Wine
This lively and captivating natural wine immediately reveals its delicacy. It’s silky in the mouth, and shows an array of aromas - ripe red fruits, violet and rose petals, with slight notes of licorice in the background. The taste is intense and sapid, satisfying from the first sip, with smooth tannins and silky softness. Mmmmm…

About the Wine Maker
Domaine des Rouges Queues was established in 1998 by Isabelle and Jean-Yves Vantey. They farm six hectares biodynamically across 15 different sites in various appellations. The name 'Rouges Queues' or 'red tail' in English, came about by the 'Black Redstart' birds who are resident of the area.
Isabelle and Jean-Yves Vantey farm six hectares of certified biodynamic vineyards in Maranges, Santenay, and the Hautes- Côtes de Beaune. These wines are an excellent representation of good farming in Burgundy and showcase unique, expressive character of the terrior that is sometimes lost in the bigger estates. These are pure, alive and raw wines crafted with loved by this avant- garde couple that do almost everything themselves.
