Côtes du Roussillon Modat (Domaine) De-ci de-là 2019

The wine

The nose is floral with notes of citrus fruit, white fruit, aniseed and star anise. On the palate it is pleasantly tangy, creamy, fresh and powerful with fine persistent bitters. A fine balanced wine which will pair beautifully with fish and coquilles Saint-Jacques.

About the Producer Modat

Domaine Modat is owned by Philippe Modat, a Paris clerk of court by profession and – more importantly – a great lover of vines, which his parents owned when he was young. Later in life, having become a serious wine enthusiast, he sought to acquire a domain in Roussillon. This led to his purchase of a domain in Cassagnes in 2007, which now covers 24 hectares. He divides his time between his Paris life and his domain at the foot of the Corbières – where he spends at least one week every month – while his father takes care of the domain's day-to-day business. The vines have been cultivated from the start in accordance with organic principles, and obtained certification in 2014; a few hectares have even been converted to biodynamics. A little-known domain, yet one which produces a very attractive range of extremely well-made wines in a lacy southern style, with beautiful textures and freshness.
