Easy to drink with an intensely fruity nose showing lots of ripe summer berries, hints of green leafiness and toasty wood. The palate is all about fresh berries, smooth soft tannins and lingering memories of a long hot summer.

Fermentation was in concrete tanks at relatively low temperatures (mid 20's °C) with up to 2 pump-overs per day. Malolactic ferment is completed at the same time as alcoholic fermentation, and as soon as the fermentation is finished the wine is pressed off to preserve the sweet summer fruit flavours.
The wine spends 2 months on full yeast lees to help soften the palate. A small portion of the wine is aged in old foudre (used by two generations of winemakers at the domain), which gives the wine a bit of body without imparting any oak flavours.
Terre des 2 Sources came about from the collaboration of two couples who each had a similar dream: to find the right land and environment to craft exceptional wines. It didn't take too long for them to locate a gem just south of the Cévennes mountains, Domaine de la Devèze. With a variety of soils, slopes and aspects residing in a climate moderated by higher elevation and proximity to the mountains, the vineyards can produce wines of complexity and elegance.
