Cyril Fhal

Based in Roussillon , in the heart of the steep hillsides of Latour-de-France, Cyril Fhal is a passionate winemaker, renowned for his rigorous and respectful approach to the terroir. After starting out in the Loire Valley, he moved to this sunny region where he founded Clos du Rouge Gorge . From the outset, Cyril opted for organic and biodynamic viticulture, banning chemicals and working in harmony with nature.
The vines, planted mainly with Carignan and Grenache , thrive on schist and marl soils, offering low yields but exceptional quality. In the cellar, Cyril Fhal is part of the natural wine movement: fermentation is spontaneous, without the addition of yeast, and the use of sulfur is strictly limited, if not non-existent.
The wines of Clos du Rouge Gorge are appreciated for their great finesse and precision. Unlike the often more powerful styles of the region, Cyril's vintages are distinguished by their elegance, freshness and a beautiful mineral expression, authentic reflections of the terroir. The meticulous work he carries out both in the vineyard and in the cellar has earned his wines a reputation for excellence , attracting natural wine lovers from around the world.
