From his family's eight hectares in the rugged, windswept bone dry Languedoc terroir of Corbieres, Jean-Baptiste Gibert produces wines of unapologetic earthiness and character using purely organic viticulture methods and next to no technology in the winemaking process. Gibert's distinctive "Rose des Glacieres" is pre Syrah, harvested by hand from old vines in rocky limestone soil, and made via saignee method (bled off juice from the harvest). Standing in stark contrast to the ultra-pale-pink direct press exemplars of modern commercial rose. Faillenc Sainte Marie's is ripe, juicy and rich in color, reveling in its evocation of this sun baked terrain.
