2023 Yann Bertrand TripTyque VdF - Rhone-ish - FRANCE. 750ml
If you’ve ever wondered what Yann can do with grapes other than Gamay, well here is the wine to show you! A one off cuvee for 2023 facilitated by Thibault Pfifferling. Following the July hail and another sudden loss of fruit for Yann, Thibault was on the phone immediately to offer support and source fruit for Yann. There was also a friendly challenge to make a “Tavel”. TripTyque is a blend of 60% Grenache (off limestone) 25% Cinsault (pebbles) and 15% Syrah (sandy soils) The Grenache and Cinsault underwent carbonic maceration for 22 days, the Syrah was directly pressed. Elevaged half in used barrels, half in concrete.
Strawberry and floral. Orange zest and grenadine. Lithe fruit tannins, a shimmy of spice. Lifted fruit with beautiful freshness. Digestible. Not a rose, not a red. Serve slightly chilled. An absolutely joyous drink.
