This beautiful winery, Domaine Valinière, is part of the grandmaster Vignoble Vellas, a well-known name in the wine region. They have been crafting exquisite wines from the south of France for years. Situated on the slopes of St. Drézéry, this beautiful winery expresses the Valinière estate's enormous potential with the Syrah and Grenache grape varieties. In recent years, significant investments have been made in the vineyards and modern winemaking techniques, among other things. But what makes Domaine Valinière so renowned is its pioneering spirit. After all, who makes an Appasimento wine in France but winemaker Nicolas Vellas?

The old Syrah Mourvedre vineyard of Domaine Valinière

For this superb red wine, Syrah and Mourvedre grapes are grown in the heart of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Here, Domaine Valinière's old vines grow, which nowadays yield only a small harvest. The grapes thrive in the chalky soil and are planted on the best slopes in St. Drézéry. The climate here is perfect, with abundant sunshine and a cool breeze contributing to the success story. When the grapes are ripe, the branches of the vines supporting the bunches are cut. The bunches are deprived of nutrients, and the sun gently dries them. This drying process is called the Appasimento technique, a method often used in Italy but rarely in France. After several weeks, the bunches are gathered and pressed. The resulting juice is truly phenomenal.

Full and very powerful this Domaine Valinière Appasimento

The moment we poured it, we were already sold. What a beautiful deep red color, almost black! The most beautiful aromas emerge from the glass, giving us impressions of ripe black fruit, plums, dark chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of currant. On the palate, it offers a very smooth sensation, with plenty of richness of black fruit, with cherries and berries taking center stage. On the back of the tongue, there are nuances of vanilla, gingerbread, and a touch of spice. What a joy to drink this red wine called Domaine Valinière Appasimento.
