ABOUT THIS WINE
Produced by the historic Château de Trinquevedel in the Southern Rhône Valley, 'Ce qui nous lie' (meaning 'That Which Binds Us') is a special cuvée crafted by fourth-generation vignerons Céline and Guillaume Demoulin. The name celebrates their partnership, love, and deep connection to the land. While the estate is world-famous for its traditional Tavel rosés, the strict rules of the Tavel AOP prohibit red wine production under that name. Consequently, this organic red is released under the Côtes du Rhône appellation, offering a fresh, modern expression of the region's unique terroir.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This organic red wine is a blend of 75% Grenache, 13% Syrah, and 12% Mourvèdre, sourced from vineyards in the Tavel commune featuring sandy soils and quartzite pebbles. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and sorted on vibrating tables to ensure only pristine fruit is used. Following 100% destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled, epoxy-resin-lined concrete tanks. Gentle pump-overs are utilized to avoid over-extracting harsh tannins, and the wine is aged briefly in concrete vats to preserve its vibrant, crunchy primary fruit character before early bottling.
