Chat Gris

Vin de France | Orange | NM

This Grenache Gris is carefully vinified, undergoing maceration in vats before natural fermentation in barrels, followed by extended aging in barrels that are not topped up. The schist terroir enriches the wine with a unique mineral complexity. Its amber-orange hue intrigues and invites a memorable tasting experience. The structure of this wine, both dense and velvety, reveals a surprising texture, combining softness and power, supported by a harmony of acidity, bitterness, and astringency.

Our Review of the Cuvée

On the nose, this Grenache Gris offers an enticing array of aromas evoking flambéed banana, dried orange peel, and a souk overflowing with walnut liqueur and Middle Eastern spices. On the palate, the wine envelops the senses with an almost tangible density, while retaining a surprising lightness. The flavors evolve into notes of rancio, with hints of caramel, coffee, and toasted nuts. The finish is lingering, enhanced by a beautiful spicy complexity and an energetic texture that captivate the senses, making for an unforgettable tasting experience.
