About Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Rouge

In the alchemical tradition, Occultum Lapidem signifies "the hidden stone." A mysterious symbol of transformative power, reserved solely for those who know how to seek it. It is no coincidence that Michel Chapoutier—a visionary of French wine, master of the Rhône, and tireless explorer of unique terroirs—chose this name for one of the most emblematic wines of his venture in the south of France.

In his relentless quest for exceptional vineyards, Chapoutier arrived in the Agly Valley, at the heart of Roussillon (France), where he discovered a terroir with the allure of a well-kept enigma. In Latour-de-France, the soils narrate their history in layers: the dark schists impart warmth, the gneiss offers minerality and freshness, and the limestone maintains perfect balance. It is as if geology has inscribed its own secret treatise of alchemy here.

Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Rouge is born from the spicy syrah, the vibrant grenache, and the tannic carignan, cultivated organically and following biodynamic principles. After resting for 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, this red wine reveals itself as intense and alluring, inviting one to unravel—like any well-guarded treasure—each layer of its complexity.

Tasting Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Rouge is akin to deciphering an ancient Templar manuscript. Each sip unveils a new nuance of the mystery that Chapoutier discovered on the stony slopes of Latour-de-France. Powerful and full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced, it combines the sunlit soul of Roussillon with the refined elegance of the Rhône.


 

2019

Upon tasting, it offers a full and refreshing sensation that unfolds on the palate with delightfully silky tannins. The notes of blueberries continue, accompanied by a hint of spices, leaving a saline echo that lingers, enchanting the senses. This wine stands out for its elegance and complexity, ideal for those seeking a red with character and depth in every sip.
