Duras from a parcel of forty five year old vines planted over clay and limestone and farmed by Alain Maroule in Gaillac. After a rigorous selection in the vines, the fruit was macerated on the skins for a month, pressed gently and aged in old barriques for a year. The result is a compact wine of subtle power that is all black berries, pepper and spice.

About the Winemaker

Born and raised in the Jura, Olivier Boulin is a philosopher turned “neo-negoce”, making wine as Le Nez de Goth. We me Olivier at his parent’s house in Dole where he houses his old wooden press. His idea was always to “grow his garden at a friend’s house”, and he’s very lucky that for the most part his friends are esteemed winemakers all working naturally. His fruit is all organic or biodynamic, he works manually and diligently, cranking a basket press through the night outside of his parents' garage. The wines are fermented and aged in a 17th century cellar in Champvans before gravity bottling with zero additions. Olivier Loves to play with ideas regional typicity, while injecting the wines with his sharp wit and intellect
