Chat Fou is a unique mix of both red and white grapes - primarily Grenache with about 15% Clairettee, Viognier, and Chasselas. It's like a cousin to a GSM cousin but with a softer lighter tough -fresher, and less dense. Floral aromas with brambly raspberry, spiced red cherry flavors, and wet granite. Mild tannins with medium high acid.

Light, clear, garnet in the glass. Medium notes of wild strawberry and earth on the nose. On the palate, tart dark cherry with more earth. Very, very fine tannins that aren’t worth mentioning and a nice acidic backbone. Lovely, light, refreshing, elegant, even if not terribly complex.

85% Grenache and then some white grapes co-fermented. Stinky. Little funk going on.

Grenache and co ferment with Clairette, Viognier and Marsanne. Bright red fruit, chalk, garrigue note, aromatic. Refreshing, easy to drink.
