Champ de Treilles

Champ des Treilles- Vin de France Rouge 2022

The Comme’s vineyards are a truly beautiful place. Learning how to stir the nettle tea is a memory I’ll not forget. As for the wine itself: hiding behind this purposely plain Vin de France label (they dropped the AOC a couple years back to be done with the paperwork), Jean-Michel & Corinne have bottled a wine that is as serious, thoughtful, and elegant as they are. This wine is structured like a classified growth — grip, body, and acid to go the distance for decades — with the chief distinction that it is largely aged in concrete to preserve the purest possible expression of the fruit. The nose gives black plum, tomato, olive, parilla, stewed sour cherry, blue corn flower, and an almost Mexican spice cabinet’s je ne sais quoi. Indigenous yeast; unfined & unfiltered; minimal SO2 additions; majority old vines with many planted before the brutal frost of 1956. The production is limited yet the prices are kind. It’s such an honour for us to represent this wine.
