緑茶の香りと、海のような塩気。

グルナッシュ・ブランとグルナッシュ・グリという珍しい組み合わせから、とらえどころのない表情が生まれます。まず緑茶を思わせる香り、続いて海水やアルカリを感じさせる塩味とミネラル。口の中では瑞々しい余韻とともに、フローラルな香りがいっぱいに広がります。パイナップルやマルメロ、爽やかなライムの果実味は甘く清涼で、洗練された味わい。海の魚や甲殻類、白肉、山羊のチーズと。オーガニック認証取得。

Tasting note

D18 has the aroma of green tea, as well as the aroma and taste of seawater and alkalinity that brings to mind salt and minerals. A fresh aftertaste lingers in the mouth. At the same time, the floral aroma spreads throughout the mouth. Fruity, with a sweet, refreshing and refined taste of quince, pineapple and lime.

About this bottle

This unusual combination of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc creates an elusive wine. It offers an initial green tea nose, and the first flavors are mouthwateringly salty, quickly followed by floral notes. There's also plenty of delicious fruit, including pineapple, quince, and refreshing lime.

About the producer

Domaine Olivier Pithon

[A unique existence, enchanted by the land! A true Grand Vin du Sud]

Originally from Anjou in the Loire Valley, Olivier Pithon grew up in a family of winemakers.

He aspired to become a winemaker at the age of 14, first assisting his grandfather in his hometown of Anjou, then his already famous brother, Joe Piton, in the Coteaux du Layon in Anjou, and spent most of his teenage years working in the vineyards and cellars. At 18, he left the Loire and moved to Bordeaux to study viticulture, opening his eyes to a world of wine very different from that of his home town.

He gained some practical experience in Jurançon and Bordeaux, and further acquired his savoir et faire (artisan's skills) under the tutelage of the genius winemaker Stéphane Durnoncourt, who greatly influenced him in his knowledge of terroir, teaching him "precision, love of work, balance, lightness, and that wine should be made delicately and above all, that it should bring joy." He learned the importance of working in harmony with nature, something he had never learned at school, and the importance of reflecting the individuality of the land and grape varieties.

Olivier's desire to create his own wines was born, and he began searching for a place where he could fulfill his passion for wine and terroir. In 2000, he visited the small village of Cars, where he met Gérard Goby. The high altitude, constant winds, and complex soils of the area immediately convinced him that this was the place to produce delicate and elegant wines. Enamored by the land, Olivier purchased 8.5 hectares of vineyards with old vines. He adopted organic farming methods from the start, and received organic certification in 2002, and biodynamic certification in 2010.
