Romain Le Bars Pousse Cailloux 2022

Country: France
Region: Rhone Valley
Grape: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Ugni Blanc
Colour: Red
Bottle Size: 75cl
Alcohol: 13%
Vintage: 2022


Romain runs a tiny 1.5 hectare estate in Gard, in the southern Rhône region. Since his first vintage in 2018 he has slowly acquired more land, meaning there is more wine available for us. Romain spent 7 years working with winemaker Eric Pfifferling at Domaine de L’Anglore, prior to that assisted Matthieu Vallée at Château Yvonne. Romain works, mostly, with Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, and vinifies in old wood using little to no sulphur. His wines are about drinkability and he is really showing mastery of carbonic maceration. Incredible and extremely limited wines, from a rising star in the South of France.

Pousse Cailloux is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Ugni Blanc. All whole bunch and with the linear character we see through all Romain’s wines.
