DOMAINE DES 8 LUNES Artémis 2022 AOP LANGUEDOC 75cl Red

Grape varieties: Grenache Noir and Cinsault

Vineyard area & terroir: This wine comes from a plot of “forgotten” grape varieties totaling just 0.52 hectares. The soil is clay-limestone with the presence of schist. The vines are cultivated according to biodynamic principles, following the lunar calendar, using plant-based preparations and horn silica.

Winemaking: Hand-harvested grapes. 100% destemmed harvest with around ten days of maceration, then aged in tank for 6 months.

Tasting notes: Lovely ripe red fruit, reminiscent of crushed strawberries—flavorful, smooth, and juicy, yet with added structure.

🍷 Serving temperature: 16°C - decant for 1 hour before serving

Blanville is a family-run wine estate located in Saint-Pargoire, near Montpellier in the Hérault (34). Founded in 1997 by Bernard and Béatrice Nivollet, it is now being handed over to their daughters and the Blanville team.

The Domaine des 8 Lunes is the result of the second generation’s new project: to revive forgotten grape varieties of the Languedoc and share them. The vineyard is farmed according to biodynamic principles, respecting the lunar calendar, which includes 8 different phases that inspired the estate’s name.
