Domaine des Ardoisieres IGP Vin des Allobroges Argile Rouge 2023 750ml

Domaine des Ardoisières “Argile Rouge” 2023 is a vibrant red wine from the Alpine vineyards of Savoie in eastern France. Produced under the IGP Vin des Allobroges designation, this cuvée expresses the freshness and distinctive character of the region’s indigenous grape varieties. The grapes grow on hillside vineyards with clay soils, schistose marl, and clay-limestone deposits, contributing to the wine’s lively fruit profile and mineral freshness. Made using organic and biodynamic viticulture, with hand-harvested grapes, whole-cluster fermentation, and indigenous yeasts, the wine is matured in tanks to preserve its natural fruit character. The 2023 vintage offers bright red berry flavours, floral nuances, gentle spice, and supple tannins. Its modest alcohol level and refreshing profile make it an appealing choice for relaxed meals and everyday enjoyment.
