Mon Rouge

Rode wijn

Mon Rouge refers to Mont Rouge, or Red Mountain, which is very important to Entre-Deux-Monts. Without Mount Rouge, EDM would not be between two mountains. The mountain got its name from the fact that there is a lot of ironstone in the soil. The iron in the soil reacts with rainwater and takes off a rusty red color. That ironstone is a much-determined factor of the soil on which the vines stand. 

Currently, the Mon Rouge is out of stock.
