Cultivated on hostile soils, the Llendoner Pelut and Syrah vines produce small yields for this cuvée with Catalan overtones. Concentrated and delicate, Extrême rouge 2011 expresses itself on notes of black fruit and spices. A wine loaded with sunshine!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2015 guide) 16/20 (2010 vintage) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Paul Old cultivates these old vines between Corbières and Roussillon biodynamically. The minimalist approach in the cellar produces both highs (Prioundo and L'Extrême, in white) and lows, with gas saturation in certain cuvées and an occasional lack of clarity. The wines do, however, know how to age, and benefit from aeration.
