Domaine du Peyrou VDF "Racines Du Ciel" 2022

Domaine du Peyrou VDF “Racines du Ciel” 2022 is a bold, fruit-driven red from a Vin de France project by Jordi Pérez of Domaine du Peyrou in the Gers region of southwest France. It’s a blend of Tannat (≈60 %), Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (≈40 %) that’s fermented with a mix of whole bunches and destemmed berries, then aged in concrete and stainless steel, giving it structure without overt oak influence.

In the glass it shows a deep garnet colour with generous aromas of black fruits like cassis and blueberry, hints of prune and dark spice, together with a freshness of herbs on the nose. The palate is powerful and concentrated with ripe dark-fruit layers and firm, smooth tannins that balance intensity with complexity, a wine that feels rich and substantial yet still poised and expressive of its terroir.
