Amethyst 2022 - Domaine des Ardoisières
The Améthyste cuvée is the pinnacle of red wines from Domaine des Ardoisières. Sourced from the dizzying slopes of Cévins, it blends Mondeuse (60%) with Persan (40%), a rare and historic Savoyard grape. Farmed biodynamically on siliceous schist, this cuvée is a demonstration of both power and elegance. The nose is deep, blending wild black fruits, pepper, violet, and a smoky mineral imprint. On the palate, the wine reveals a noble structure, driven by velvety tannins and vibrant Alpine freshness. Aged for 12 months in barrels, Améthyste is an intense, complex wine with exceptional aging potential. A great terroir red that rivals the finest appellations of the Northern Rhône Valley.

The Nobility of Cévins Schists Améthyste is no ordinary red; it is a "haute couture" wine that resurrects Persan, a noble forgotten grape, combining it with the structure of Mondeuse. Together, they offer a unique interpretation of the Cévins terroir.
Technical Details:
-
Terroir: Steep siliceous schist terraces, south-facing, in the village of Cévins.
-
Varietals: 60% Mondeuse, 40% Persan.
-
Farming: Certified biodynamic. Extremely low yields (approx. 20 hl/ha) for maximum concentration.
-
Winemaking: Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Gentle handling to preserve the elegance of the juice.
-
Aging: 12 months in seasoned oak barrels (no new oak to avoid masking the wine).
-
Style: A powerful, complex red, characterized by great mineral verticality.
Tasting Notes :
-
Nose: Aristocratic, featuring blackberry, blueberry, graphite, black pepper, and hints of forest floor.
-
Palate: A direct and dense attack. The body is rich yet remains airy thanks to precise acidity. The finish is long, spicy, and deeply saline.
