Information
Since 1670, Mas de Libian has belonged to the Thibon family. Located on the right bank of the Rhône, at the foot of the Ardèche gorges, this domaine spans 25 ha and has been organic since its creation. Today, the domaine hold biodynamic certification and the soil is worked by horse and plough. The vines receive plenty of sunlight ,necessary for the production of the native varieties (Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cournoise, Vaccarèse), and also has the famous “galets roulés”, or pudding stones and red clay soil; Since 2006, Catherine has been gradually expanding the domaine, acquiring new parcels but also giving much of the land over to polyculture (olive trees, beekeeping etc).
Originating from a biodynamic culture on a terroir of clay and rolled pebbles, this wine is named after the Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyâm who wrote verses praising women and wine. Aged for nine months in foudres, the wine has a strange oriental profile as seen by the presence of warm, fruity and spicy notes. The silky tannins and the mouth-watering finish call for pleasant and tasty pairings.
