"In Spain, there's an old tradition of bottling wines on the estate. At harvest time, in addition to the vintage of the year, a cuvée without a specific vintage is produced, called 'Reserva Especial'. This is a blend of different harvests, with the aim of creating a wine that is as representative of the estate as possible. Rémy Pédréno

About the domain :
Rémy Pédréno and his wife Martine have been running this 9-hectare estate on the historic Langlade terroir since 1999. Having previously worked in the northern Rhône region, notably for Domaine Rostaing, this passionate winemaker from Nîmes quickly established himself among the region's greats, producing elegant, taut, airy wines from this marl-limestone terroir that has been renowned for centuries. Aging in tuns and a more precise management of the lees have taken this estate to a new level, and it is now an undisputed benchmark. Jeremy Stevenson joins Martine and Rémy from New Zealand, Alsace, Chile and Oregon.
