Château de L’Ou Secret de Schistes 2018
Bought in 1998, this is a family run estate created by the incredibly talented and passionate Séverine and Philippe Bourrier, and lies just to the south of Perpignan, in the plains region of the Roussillon. It consists of three separate terroirs, all farmed organically. The vineyard terroir for Chateau de L’Ou Blanc Cotes Du Roussillon consists of alluvial marls of the Roussillon plain. The name of the estate comes from the Catalan word l’Ou, meaning egg, because of the egg-shaped well on the property.
Dubbed “A Rising Star in the Roussillon” by Jeb Dunnuck, their wines are exceptional.
This award-winning wine is described as a “Velvet Touch”. A rich complex blend of baked blackberries mixed with hints of herbal garrigue and wafts of violets all held within in a beautiful mouth feel. A sophisticated, rich, and delicious wine!

The handpicked grapes go directly into oak barrels. After 3-4 weeks every barrel is emptied and cleaned, the must is pressed, and the juice goes back into the same barrels to finish fermentation and aging.
Described by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in April 2017 as a wine that “reminds me of a Syrah from the steep slopes just outside of Hermitage,” this full-bodied, ripe wine has an incredible depth of fruit. Jeb Dunnuck rates it 95/100, calling it a “sexy” wine with more complexity and depth than most from the vintage. Ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years, it’s a standout choice for Syrah lovers.
Grape Varietal: 100% Syrah
