Peyrassol Cotes de Provence Cuvee des Commandeurs Rouge Organic 2021 750ml

Producer Description 

Emblematic of the style of the estate, the Château Peyrassol vintage was created
20 years ago. It comes from a selection of old vines at least 45 years old. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah find here, at altitude and on the clay-limestone soils of the estate, a development of great distinction.

To say that the 2021 vintage was a long, quiet river would be a joke! However, Peyrassol went through the ordeals without suffering from adversity. At the end of April, a historic frost coming from the northwest (-9°) hit the region. The vines, late, have not really budded. The loss turns out to be minimal. Not a drop of rain all summer! Deeply rooted, the Peyrassol vineyard has held up rather well. In mid-August, a fire of rare violence broke out in the Luc plain, sowing desolation in its path. The mistral is merciful to Peyrassol and pushes the fire in the opposite direction. At the beginning of September, a hailstormP destroyed the entire harvest in the village of Pignan located just a few kilometers from the estate. Our hills blocked this cloud! Finally, floods devastate all the surrounding towns... but stop at the gates of Flassans! And on arrival, the ultimate reward with exceptional quality of musts and wines.
