Priorat Trio infernal DOCA N°2-3 Laurent Combier - Peter Fischer - Jean Michel Gerin 2006

The wine

This wine comes from old Carignan vines aged between 70 and 90 years, grown in iron-rich soil. The berries are fermented in open 500-litre barrels, and have undergone a 40-day maceration with regular punching down. The wine has been matured for 18 months in new French oak barrique barrels. The nose is a succession of various fruity notes. The palate reveals soft, mellow tannins and a memorable persistence. A truly great Carignan!

About the Producer Trio infernal

L'Infernal, formerly know as Trio Infernal, was created at the start of the new millennium (the year 2000 to be precise) at the instigation of three renowned winegrowers from the South of France: Peter Fischer (Château Révelette), Laurent Combier (Clos des Grives) and Jean-Michel Gerin (Domaine Gerin). This 8-hectare domaine at altitudes of 300 to 600m above sea level reaps the benefits of the coolness of the Montsant mountains. Grenache and Carignan grapes are cultivated on clay and schist soils and express themselves fully in lively, elegant and powerful wines.
