Virevoltant

Les Équilibristes Virevoltant is a red wine from the Languedoc region of France, produced by the collective Les Équilibristes. The wine is made entirely from Carignan grapes, a deliberate choice that sets it apart as it intentionally deviates from the AOC Corbières Boutenac regulations, which permit a maximum of 80% Carignan. This approach highlights the collective's philosophy of winemaking freedom and showcasing indigenous grape varieties. Les Équilibristes is a collective founded by François de Monval and Florent Girou, who collaborate with winegrowers practicing organic viticulture and minimal intervention. The vineyards are certified organic and have been for three decades, with vines averaging 15 years of age grown on clay, limestone, and pebble soils.
