Certified organic. 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. All the fruit for Olivier Klein's excellent value Un Air Côtes du Rhône was drawn from the estate’s highland, sandy limestone vineyards set around the hamlet of Sabran. Everything was picked by hand and sorted, then mostly destemmed prior to a five-day cold soak. The ferment was natural and was followed by a maturation of between seven and eight months in concrete tanks. The wine is unfined and only saw a light filtration prior to bottling.
Full of bright red fruit, this is another beautifully crafted and energetic release. It jumps out of the glass with scents of pure, just-picked raspberries and cherries and an aromatic garrigue bouquet of lavender, sage, thyme and violet. Just as agile on the palate, it’s supple and fragrant, with a gentle caress of tannins adding to its crunchy-fruited drinkability. Every sip is pure pleasure.
