Emeric's note

Slow-cooked stew on a cold night

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Château Bois d'Arlène farms organically in Vacqueyras, in the southern Rhône.

Re.Né.Sens is their Vacqueyras: Grenache (60%), Mourvèdre (30%) and Syrah (10%), fermented in concrete with no added sulphites, then macerated for weeks.

A pleasure with almost anything, and almost anyone.

The place

Rhône Méridionale (Southern) · Rhône

The valley opens out into broad, sun-soaked Mediterranean country. Grenache leads the famous GSM blends across Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the vast Côtes du Rhône. Tavel makes France's most serious rosé; Beaumes-de-Venise and Rasteau, sweet fortified wines.
