Domaine Duseigneur Sakura Rouge 2022 - Rhone, France

Organic

Winemaker "the color is dark purple. The nose is fine, intense, on sloe, cherry stone; pepper and sweet spices. The palate is round, ample, velvety, with a pulpy/juicy texture with expressive fruit, and a more vegetal touch. The latter is accentuated on the finish, reinforced by the bitterness of the stone, complemented by a delicious black fruit."

Syrah 100%
Alcohol: 13%

In Japan, cherry blossoms are considered symbols of evolution, change and transition. They mean that we should not get attached to things because time always moves forward, and we are bound to lose them.

The Samurais made this tattoo to remind us that life was fragile, and that they could lose it at any moment.

Bernard Duseigneur "Seizing the opportunity that nature gives us; that is the essence of biodynamics for me"

Bernard Duseigneur, hailing from a lineage of winemakers, assumed control of the family's domaine in 2002 after a stint in investment banking. Returning to his Mediterranean origins, he continued the legacy of his father and brother, ultimately settling in Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the left bank of the Rhône.

In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the terroir isn't solely defined by iconic orange pebbles; it comprises diverse soils like red clays, limestone, sandstone sands, and loams from the Rhone's banks. Acknowledging that exceptional terroir alone isn't enough for quality wines, Bernard prioritizes soil vitality. His team nurtures a diverse flora and fauna that mobilize trace elements, fostering symbiosis between plant and soil.
