90% Grenache, 8% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre
Anne Collard, who runs the Château Mourgues du Grès with her husband Francois, always wanted to have vines in the Côtes du Rhône. In 2019, she found a great site just six kilometers north of Mourgues du Grès that was everything she was looking for, purchasig 30 hectares. They mostly have Grenache, along with Mourvèdre and Carignan. Comps is the southernmost village in the Côtes du Rhône appellation and it’s a particularly windy area, convenient for organic agriculture with very rocky soils and steep slopes.
The wines are made at Mourgues du Grès, in a new part of the cellar, in new tanks. They are not using any sulfites during winemaking or aging, and the fermentations start spontaneously with indigenous yeasts.
Rock, Paper, Scissors is juicy and supple with plum and raspberry fruits, lilacs, white pepper and herby notes.
