Wild Children - Bouche du Soleil 2022
Domaine Les Enfants Sauvages is located in the Côtes Catalanes appellation area in Roussillon . Carolin and Nikolaus Bantlin , originally from Germany, settled in a sheepfold with 7.5 hectares of vines in 1998. In 2003, Carolin did an internship with Olivier Pithon. The couple then decided to start producing their own wines. The grapes are grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, with remedies rather limited to plants like chamomile and nettle. The terroir is rich in limestone, surrounded by olive, almond and fig trees, as well as scrubland vegetation, most often thyme and rosemary, which thrives on the limestone slopes of the Mediterranean coast.
Bouche du Soleil is made from Muscat d’Alexandrie . The whole bunches are macerated for 4 weeks . The wine is aged for 9 months in amphorae .
Grape variety: 100% Muscat of Alexandria
