Entre Chien et Loup Rouge

Product description

Entre Chien et Loup Rouge is an organic natural red wine from France, made from 90% Syrah and 10% Grenache Noir. The grapes grow on clay-rich soils covered with pebbles, where the young vines are cultivated organically. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, resulting in a modest yield of just 25 hectolitres per hectare in the 2024 vintage. In the cellar, the winemaking process follows a natural approach, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts and no external additives. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is followed by fermentation in the liquid phase. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine matures in terracotta amphorae. No sulphur dioxide (SO₂) is added during vinification or ageing.

In the glass, Entre Chien et Loup Rouge displays a beautiful, relatively light ruby-red colour. The nose reveals aromas of red fruit, complemented by a delicate hint of white pepper. On the palate, the wine offers a generous, layered structure with fine, enveloping tannins. Its vibrant freshness carries through the entire tasting experience, creating a harmonious balance. At bottling, the wine is left unfined and unfiltered, with only an extremely small, homeopathic dose of SO₂ added. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this natural wine retains its pure and authentic character.

Entre Chien et Loup Rouge 2024 pairs beautifully with red meat and hard cheeses. The combination of juicy red fruit, subtle spice and refreshing acidity makes it an excellent companion to flavourful dishes and relaxed dinners. A distinctive organic natural wine for those who appreciate an authentic, minimally intervened style in which fruit, freshness and elegance come together.
