<p>Domaine de Pergaud is the designation for Eric’s best expressions of terroir, usually in the form of micro-productions from very old vines.</p><p>Here Eric dubs his wine “Vieille Serine” after the ancient strain of Syrah. Some even speculate Serine isn’t Syrah at all but it’s own genetic entity. </p><p>Prior to Eric taking over these vines, they’d been farmed exclusively by a Protestant religious group known as the Darbistes. The result: chemicals have never been used on this site in its 400 years of existence.</p><p>Winemaking:Mostly whole-cluster, one week maceration. Fermented in concrete and aged in 2500l barrels and demi-muids.</p>
