Prieuré Saint Jean de Bébian Les Moutons Red 2024 is a red wine produced by Benoît Pontenier in Pézenas, Languedoc, France.
It is a 100% Mourvèdre (Monastrell) sourced from a plot of old vines, approximately 65 years old, located on a Villafranchian fluvial terrace, with rounded quartz, marble and flint pebbles over grey clay soils.
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermentation takes place with approximately 80% whole clusters in stainless steel tanks, finishing in 15-hectolitre oak foudres.
The wine is aged for 12 months in foudre, with no added sulphites, and is bottled directly from the foudre according to the biodynamic calendar, followed by further bottle ageing before release.
