Description
Retour de Roy 2022 is a natural wine crafted by , in the Languedoc region in . This red wine is made with 100% grapes from 68-year-old vines grown on schist soils in Cabrerolles, within the Faugères appellation.
This is one of La Sorga’s standout reds: old-vine Grenache from a terroir known for giving wines real grip and aromatic intensity. Yields are tiny, just 13hl/ha.
The grapes are destemmed and macerated for 30 days, then aged for 9 months in a sandstone egg, with no added sulphites.
Expect a vibrant, energetic nose, with strawberry, citrus, and white pepper alongside fern. On the palate, it shows the classic markers of Faugères schist: a very broad, velvety texture, dominant citrus and white pepper aromatics, plus hints of cumin, all wrapped in enormous complexity. The finish is described as long and dense, a wine built for ageing but already very easy to drink. Finish in one sitting
