Mont de Marie 'Coquin de Sort' 2023
The Wine
Aramon is the Ploussard of the Languedoc and here it is mixed with Cinsault, another flyweight red grape- this represents Thierry's best fruit and is open and expressive with wild strawberry and floral lift. The palate is medium-bodied and finely chiselled
tannins keep it beautifully poised, tender and intense. Very moreish!

About the Wine Maker
Mont de Marie is Thierry Forestier and he's based in Souvignargues which is in the Gard department. He used to be in IT but his parents were farmers and in his thirties, he returned to the land and bought his property of 11 hectares that he has farmed organically ever since, in fact it was farmed that way when he bought it.
What got Eric Pfifferling (L'Anglore) interested was the grape varieties he had - Aramon, Cinsault, Carignan - varieties that suit the climate and express subtlety and finesse and old vines at that, averaging over 80 years!
Thierry is fastidious and makes his wine much like Eric (L'Anglore), hyper observation with minimal intervention, the result being vibrant and sensitive wines with plenty of flavour but with freshness and finesse.
