When Pierre Talayrach talks about red wine, he takes on an air of deep concentration. “Red wines are tricky. They require love. They require patience.” Well, if the result of this patience is a wine as good as L’Original, we’re not leaving the line. Ever.

I'm a nerd, I want every detail

Red berries, licorice, and something that tastes of Roussillon’s sun: this 100% Merlot is a testament to the authenticity of its terroir and the talent of winemaker Pierre Talayrach. We spent a week on the estate during the harvest season and almost stayed forever, devouring grapes directly from the vines. Pierre’s world is an enchanted one, where every small, precise winemaking gesture — from summer leaf removal to manual pruning — feels like bottling the sun or the moon. 

 

The craft

 

  • Royat cordon pruning.

  • Summer leaf removal.

  • Fermentation and maceration under pomace.

  • Aging in steel vats.

  • 13% ABV.

  • Lifespan: 8 years.

 

The occasion

 

L’Original can be paired with food, but we like it even better as an apéritif. We’d go as far as saying that it’s the perfect wine for a date.

 

The winemaker

Pierre Talayrach

In his own words, Pierre Talayrach was born in a soft and round countryside, dressed with a mixed green of grapevine and fields. His main view, a balcony with a white roof, planted in the middle of an azure blue sky. And this soft reflection of nature, comfortably installed between sea and mountain, this space of plenitude is called Pézilla-la-Rivière

It is where Pierre learnt how to live with the vines, close to his father who, himself had learnt it from his own father, and so on, for generations.  Pierre has lived alongside the vines for years, learning to understand them better, seeing them evolve, grow, and sometimes die as well. When Pierre's father passed on to him the tremendous honor and joy to run this vineyard, he felt it was his duty to make it evolve towards a new destiny. Pierre Talayrach is one of these men, he is a dreamer with a huge heart and a firm hand. in his presence, you can almost see the passion flowing through his veins. He brings to his vines and cellar his own happiness and pain. Because nothing is simple or easy, especially making wines this honest and delicious.
