About the wine:
Pèirafi 2015 purifies itself in the air to take the path of radiant fruit and vigorous tannin that awakens and establishes the cuvée on a rustic, peasant and solid base.
About the domain :
Jean-Luc Matha's methods are organic because he likes wines that roll the "r". Close to the fruit and to their particular "rougier" terroir - the red, iron-marked, almost mountainous soils of Marcillac - the vines planted on benches offer ideal ripeness. All vintages are de-stemmed, as Jean-Luc Matha doesn't like the "bell pepper" taste. With hindsight, it's clear that the fer servadou (also known as mansois or braucol) in this winemaker's hands needs time, and that the different cuvées need to be tamed.
