DOMAINE D'OUREA

The creation of this vineyard is a meeting, a love story for three people. These places, which, through the intermediary of a translator and the stubbornness of men, give birth to great wines, are rooted in the "Hautes Garrigues", where they come alive to capture all the magic of the place. Under peaceful appearances, it is a place of character, with a Mediterranean character. The noble rusticity of the rolled limestone pebbles tames this land of fire. Our Gigondas is located on a scree panel directly attached to the "Dentelles de Montmirail". During the different interglacial periods, the limestone rock cracked at depth, erosion ventilated downstream of the limestone and marl debris. This slope is open, airy and bright, with a south-facing exposure that allows the grapes to reach full maturity. The altitude preserves the balance and freshness of the wines, a guarantee of "drinkability", this location nestled in the highest part of the "Dentelles" has given the name of the Domaine "Ouréa". He is the Greek God of the Mountains and High Mountains, and the limestone, through the vine, lets us know that he is alive. In order to translate the richness of the place, we have chosen a local translator: Grenache. It is located at its northern limit of culture, and expresses itself with grace and elegance. The wines produced from them age harmoniously.
