{"product_id":"calentu-domaine-lampyres-roussillon-france-natural-wine","title":"Calentu Nouveau 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalentu Nouveau is 100% Grenache Noir grown organically in Espira-de-l'Agly, a village at the mouth of the Agly Valley in Roussillon. The 2019 vintage was among the most extreme in recent memory for the eastern Roussillon: a late-June heat event pushed temperatures to 118°F (48°C), burning off more than half the potential crop before harvest. The grapes that survived were concentrated and intense. This cuvée was the first Nouveau produced by Domaine Lampyres, made in a carbonic fermentation style built for early drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is classified as Vin de France, giving FX Dauré full freedom in winemaking. Fermentation is whole-cluster and carbonic, yielding a pale-ruby, low-tannin red with bright fruit and a slightly savory edge. Minimal intervention in the cellar, indigenous yeasts only, and a small addition of sulfur at bottling. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe soils around Espira-de-l'Agly are a mix of schist, clay-limestone, and rolled river stones. The Agly Valley's persistent Tramontane wind helps control humidity and reduces disease pressure in the vineyard, supporting Dauré's organic farming without the need for interventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalentu is best served slightly chilled and consumed young. Think of it as Roussillon's answer to Beaujolais Nouveau: light-bodied, vibrant, and designed to show off the grape in its most immediate, expressive state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Lampyres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35961105645720,"sku":"LAMPCALE19C","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/lampyres-calentu-roussillon-france-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780186963","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/calentu-domaine-lampyres-roussillon-france-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
