    The wine

    La Gérine is a rather recent cuvée: it is produced from vines that Thomas Jullien originally acquired to produce easy-drinking wines. These are grown on gravelly, loamy soils in the commune of Saint-Hyppolite le Graveyron. The soil is worked mechanically between the vines, and a "green corridor" is intentionally preserved between the vines. The Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault grapes are harvested and sorted manually, then vinified without additives. They undergo carbonic maceration with the slight addition of sulphites, and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration. Accessible and delicate, this easy-drinking wine has a pretty garnet-red colour, a nose of red berries and a mouth-watering, indulgent mouthfeel. Obviously one for drinking while young!

    Information about domain Ferme Saint-Martin

    This domaine is named in memory of the eponymous chapel that once existed where the cave now sits meaning the wines are aged in a place steeped in history. The domaine, on the other hand, is somewhat more recent. In 1950 farmers Aimé and Yvonne Julien bought the mand for polyculture but in 1956 an awful frost destroyed the couple's crops which gave them the idea to replace them with vines. 1970 marked the birth of the 11-hectare domaine. In 1979 Aimé and Yvonne's son joined the team and introduced sustainable agricultural methods.
