Mas de Gourgonnier, Les Baux-de-Provence Rouge, 2023
One of the original organic estates of Les Baux-de-Provence — certified since 1975, which is borderline unbelievable for the era. The Cartier family has worked these stony, sun-baked fields below the Alpilles since the 1700s, and Luc, Lucienne, and daughter Eve handle the modern chapter with the same hand-tended approach. The Rouge is a hearty, spicy southern blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, fermented on indigenous yeasts with very low added sulfur. The Cabernet gives it a backbone you don't always find in Provence reds, and the limestone-and-galet soils lend a savory wild-herb lift that screams garrigue. Juicy, structured, and savory — a French favorite that punches well above its weight.
