Clos du Rouge Gorge

Cyril Fhal, the man behind Clos du Rouge Gorge, is a bit of a legend in Latour de France, a village nestled in Roussillon region not far from the Pyrenees and Spain.

Kicking off his first vintage in 2002, he has proven that this region can produce bright, lithe and fresh expressions of wine, also eschewing the AOC rules of Roussillon to focus on Grenache and Carignan.

It all starts in the vineyard for him, farming his century old plots biodynamically.

In the winery, he uses natural ferments, generally avoids oak influence, and uses minimal sulphur in his winemaking
