The Story Behind the Bottle
Un Vent de Folie has Mark Hoddy written all over it! It's his baby through and through, due to his unswerving passion for the Roussillon - a fascination for the power and intensity of flavours from the tiny knots of fruit on the vines that dare call themselves grapes. Whenever he's absent from Le Chai, you know exactly where you'll find him - on the rugged slopes of the Roussillon. Maury is the finest area for grapes - its slate terroir and gnarled old vines, buffeted by the wind and scorched by sun, produce yields of around 8 hectolitres per hectare. Grenache with a touch of Syrah and Carignan, the wine's been aged for over a year in French oak at Le Chai. A Gold medal winner, it's very big and warming - enjoy with hearty meat dishes.
