The Gamay vines average over 60 years of age and are replaced by massale selection, giving extremely low yields and low levels of alcohol. Christian's farming is among the most thoughtful and inspired practiced anywhere in the world and his wines express this work in a joyful natural way. \"Faites des vins peu alcoolisés avec un joli parfum\" said Jules Chauvet (Make wines low in alcohol and with lovely aromas) and no one does this better than Christian and Thibaut.  Prologue is a lively, very alive and beautiful wine that takes you into the soils of Ducroux' vineyards and is a tonic for the soul.The wine was recently bottled when we tasted in February, showing an unusually dark red\/black color with earthy, deep aromas of strawberry and blackberry. The palate was bright and balanced with black raspberry and blackberry fruit, with earth and minerals, bright, clean and fresh in the finish. Store in a cool place, drink over the next few years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note\u003c\/strong\u003e: As a natural wine with zero additives and a short elevage, consuming when opened is highly recommended - and will be extremely enjoyable!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fruit of the Vines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48186057982177,"sku":"31699","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3790\/6145\/files\/Ducroux_Christian2023VindeFrancePrologue-FB.jpg?v=1717181258"}],"url":"https:\/\/chambersstwines.com\/collections\/christian-and-thibaut-ducroux-2025-prologue.oembed","provider":"Chambers Street Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
