Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles - Pesoul & Pendut - 2 Bottle Box 2020
Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles is located in Montpeyroux, in the Languedoc region . The estate was founded in 2015 by two friends: Matthieu Rollin and Nicolas Seffusatti . The 7-hectare vineyard is divided into several plots, reflecting the diversity of the Mediterranean terroirs between Languedoc and Roussillon. The duo favors organic compost, controlled grassing, low yields and manual work. They practice biodynamics on plots replanted in mass selections. The harvest is late to push ripeness and the small stainless steel vats isolate the juices from each plot. The cellar is built from Fontvieille stone blocks for its thermal inertia. The aging is long, mainly in barrels from the Chassin house (which supplies the largest Burgundy estates such as Coche-Dury and Romanée-Conti). The wines are aged for 12 to 36 months or more, then refined in concrete eggs.
Pesoul & Pendut comes from a unique plot with extreme climatic conditions, located in the foothills of Larzac. These vintages are only produced during exceptional vintages.
Grape variety: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan
"Pesoul & Pendut 2020 impresses with its depth and intensity: a complex nose of black fruits, pepper and garrigue precedes a dense, structured palate with racy tannins. A wine for laying down, born from a rugged terroir, for lovers of strong sensations!"
