In a few words ...
Gérard Eyraud, from Domaine de Rapatel, is fond of word games and rebus. With Le Petit Journal de Rapatel, he has written a fine article on press wine. When fermentation is complete and the wine is racked for ageing, the grape marc remains in the vat. It is by pressing this marc that Gérard Eyraud obtains this vin de presse. It is made from all the estate's red grapes, and reflects all the specific characteristics of this Costières de Nîmes estate: deliciousness, maturity, sensuality, notes of honey... Apparently simple, its high concentration of very ripe grapes makes it a sophisticated wine that's perfect for an aperitif with friends. It is also capable of supporting spicy dishes such as tajines, couscous, lamb curries...
The second pressing of the estate's 7 grape varieties: grenache, syrah, carignan, mourvedre, merlot, cabernet franc and chassan. A gourmet cuvée, full-bodied and powerful, just like Gérard. Many compare it to a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but this is the Camargue.

Domaine de Rapatel
Domaine de Rapatel is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 12 wines available to purchase, including the wine Le petit Journal 2014.
Appellation
Vin de France (Rhône)
The appellation Vin de France (Rhône) is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine de Rapatel and its 12 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
