{"title":"Mas de Libian","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated in Saint Marcel d’Ardèche on the western side of the Rhône river, at the very end of the gorge of the Ardèche, Mas de Libian has belonged to the Thibon family since 1670. A family winery handed down from generation to generation, these 25 hectares have always been worked chemical free; the soils have been subjected to neither pesticides nor weed-killers. The vineyards are plowed by horse. A terroir bathed in sunlight, Mas de Libian proudly identifies as a southern French winery by producing wines from a blend of different grape varieties (Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah, Counoise, Vaccarese, etc.) from a classically Rhône terroir of rounded river rocks and red clay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mas-de-libian-vin-de-petanque-2023","title":"Mas de Libian - Vin de Petanque 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVin de Petanque 2024 \u003c\/strong\u003eis a natural wine crafted by \u003ca href=\"\/en-be\/collections\/mas-de-libian\"\u003eMas de Libian\u003c\/a\u003e, in the Rhône region in \u003ca href=\"\/en-be\/collections\/france\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e.
