Enfer d'Arvier 2019

The Wine: Enfer d'Arvier 2019 Danilo Thomain Enfer d'Arvier is a red natural wine made from the Petit Rouge grape and vinified in cuve, it has a compelling rusticity with a wild berry impression and a lively freshness on the palate. Production at the Thomain estate is approximately 2500 bottles per year, approximately two-thirds of which is shipped to us for the US market! (source: Rosenthal Wine Merchant) The Producer: Danilo Thomain The vineyards of the Enfer d’Arvier appellation are situated in an amphitheater-shaped site on steep slopes in a high-altitude valley, which receives ample sun. The shape of this “bowl” of vineyards effectively concentrates the heat of the sun, thus giving birth to the “hell of Arvier” moniker. Danilo Thomain is the only independent vigneron working this tiny appellation only five hectares in size. The Thomain family works one hectare of vineyards here in the shadow of Mont Blanc.
