{"product_id":"les-ducs-auguste-orange","title":"Les Ducs Auguste Orange","description":"\u003cp\u003eA couple of years ago, Durcot realized that several talented local organic farmers in Aspiran, a 45-minute drive west of Montpellier, were selling their grapes to co-ops to be mixed with other grapes in the production of bulk wine. What a pity! Francois decided to buy these grapes and create a negoce that showcased some vibrant wines from an all-but-unknown terroir of Languedoc. When we met in August 2019, we asked Ducrot if we could vinify a 100% Cinsault, a rare varietal by itself but one of our favorites to drink. Cinsault is both a table grape and a vitis vinifera. The skin is very thin and the berries are large compared to Grenache, Syrah, or Mourvedre. It produces a lot of juice and makes for very light, energetic reds. This is how our collaboration started: Focusing on a grape that is mostly used for rose or added to a blend, bringing the alcohol levels down and acidity of the wine up, and producing a suave, aromatic, and crisp red from a super-hot region that would satisfy our exact craving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T Edward","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 12 \/ 2023","offer_id":45627539226820,"sku":"FR318-23","price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/les-ducs-auguste-orange-750ml-12-2023-wine-752.webp?v=1766749021","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/les-ducs-auguste-orange","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
