Wine for sale: Gorges du Soleil

Gorges du Soleil

Domaine Gorges du Soleil was created after World War II by the Beille family. The domain came into the hands of Jean-Philippe – the founder's grandson – following the accidental death of his father in 2003. This domain is located a few stone's throws from the Mediterranean, on a superb terroir of eolised (wind-polished) pebbles. Today, the domain mostly produces Côtes du Roussillon and Muscat wines, but we were able to unearth and buy the last two tanks of very old Rivesaltes just as Jean-Philippe was taking the decision to modernise his cellar with stainless steel tanks.
