Introduction
Domaine des Garriguettes 'Fleur de Lune' rouge originates from the Southern Rhône Valley in France, specifically from the biodynamically farmed vineyards near the village of Gadagne. This family-run estate, now led by Sébastien Clément, was a pioneer in organic viticulture in the region. The winemaking philosophy for the 'Fleur de Lune' cuvée focuses on alignment with the lunar calendar and biodynamic principles to produce expressive, soulful wines that reflect their Provençal heritage.
Wine Description
This red wine features a radiant garnet or deep vibrant purple colour. The sensory profile is aromatically explosive, offering intense notes of red and black fruits—such as blackberries, cherries, and peppered strawberries—interwoven with southern Rhône markers like thyme, olive, and graphite. On the palate, the wine is full bodied and powerful yet approachable, characterized by a 'crunchy' fruit texture, savoury spice, and finely woven, harmonious tannins. The finish is juicy and persistent, balancing its richness with a fresh mineral drive. The varietal composition for the 2024 vintage typically blends 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, though some parcels include Mourvèdre for added structure. It has an ABV of 14% and is certified organic (Ecocert) and biodynamic (Demeter), produced naturally without additives.
Food Pairing
The wine's generous fruit and savoury spice make it an ideal companion for hearty, slow-cooked dishes such as beef cheek ragu, lamb joints seasoned with garlic and rosemary, or classic Provençal stews. It also pairs effectively with grilled meats, charcuterie boards featuring salami and aged cheeses, and spicy dishes that complement its peppery profile.
