Remi Pouizin,
Drink now,
This Côtes du Rhône has been specially made for us by Rémi Pouizin, the talented winemaker and owner of Domaine Dieu-le-Fit. Made with exclusively organic grapes, the wine displays real purity of dark-berried fruit, with subtle spicy notes and a black-olive twist that is so typical of this region. Its juicy fruit core is wonderfully balanced by refreshing acidity and crunchy, chalky tannins.

Remi Pouizin,
Ready, but will keep,
The Native is a blend of concrete-aged Grenache and wood-aged Syrah and Mourvèdre. The Grenache makes up 70 percent of the blend, its fruit sourced from a variety of soil types, with more black clay higher up the slopes and, beneath that, soils punctuated by pudding stones but build on sand. Silky tannins enrobe a pleasing dark fruit core, with myrtle and red cherry both evidenced. Drink 2018-2021.

Remi Pouizin,
Ready, but will keep,
A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, this wine is back in 2017 – not having been made in 2016 due to poor flowering. It offers a complex blend of wild strawberries, red cherries and sweet-spice undertones. There is a density and concentration to the nose, neatly balanced by a silky texture and chalky, firm tannins. Drink now to 2026.

Rémi Pouizin formerly made wine at his father’s property, Domaine La Fourmente, just outside Visan.
Now he has branched out on his own, buying a magnificent 19th century château in the heart of the village, and securing a biodynamic accreditation for his vineyards, which essentially remain the same. Only the legal structure and the location of the winery have changed substantially: the essence of the excellent Domaine La Fourmente still remains, albeit a little improved and with a new, divinely inspired name.
Visan is one of the more self-effacing of the Côtes du Rhône Villages, not clamouring self-righteously for standalone appellation status, and therefore less well-known than near neighbours such as Rasteau and Vacqueyras. Despite this, the wines can be excellent.
