Yoga Red 2021

Justine Vigne

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

It is in the heart of the Rhône Valley, on a terroir freely interpreted under the "Vin de France" label, that Justine Vigne crafts Yoga 2021. A 100% Syrah cuvée, cultivated with passion on sun-drenched soils, where the vines draw their strength from the rock and time. This choice of a free appellation allows the winemaker to express, without constraint, the full richness of her grapes, remaining true to the identity of her vineyard and her artisanal vision of winemaking.

Cultivation methods

At Justine Vigne, the vines are cultivated with the utmost respect for life. Using certified organic farming methods, each vine is tended by hand, with a gentle and intuitive approach. The harvest is exclusively manual, selecting only the finest grapes at perfect ripeness. Fermentation occurs naturally, thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on the berries, without the addition of sulfites, fining, or filtration: a radically pure approach that allows the fruit and the vintage to speak for themselves. Yoga is a living, authentic wine that reflects, without artifice, the work in the soil and the soul of the place.

Tasting & pairings

Dense and structured, Yoga 2021 presents a deep, velvety robe. From the first sniff, the wine seduces with enveloping aromas of ripe black fruits – blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant – followed by a touch of toasted almond and subtle roasted notes reminiscent of cocoa or coffee. On the palate, the attack is ample, the texture generous, supported by smooth tannins and a beautiful tension that balances the richness of the fruit. The finish, persistent and warm, leaves an impression of harmony and fullness.

This characterful red wine pairs beautifully with regional cuisine: beef stew with olives, roast leg of lamb, mushroom gratin, or a selection of mature cheeses. For those with more patience, a few years of cellaring will allow it to gain complexity and depth. Yoga is a wine that is both grounded and vibrant, inviting you to disconnect and enjoy yourself, in a perfect balance between power and elegance.
