Domaine de Matibat, Foudre 1927, 2015

The Domaine de Matibat is located at 20 kms from Carcassonne, on the southern slopes of the Malepère range of hills. In the early 1970's, Henri Turetti rediscovered and renewed the vines of this ancient wine producing property dating back to gallo-roman times. Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah are particularly well adapted to the domaine's clay and limestone soil. Today, Jean-Claude Turetti puts all of his energy into cultivating his vineyard, a haven of vines in the midst of wind-blown heath-land. His cuvées are soft, rich and wonderfully fruity.

Foudre 1927 , le nom de la cuvée fait référence à l'élevage en fût de chène de l'Allier et 1927 est l'année d'arrivée de cette famille vigneronne en France, depuis sa vénitie natale.
