| Description: | Tasting Notes:. Beautiful garnet red colour. Intense, elegant nose with notes of fresh fruit mixed with spices, gradually developing hints of liquorice and smoke. On the palate, the intense flavours mingle with a smooth structure, and plump, well-integrated tannins. Good length and freshness make this a pleasant, drinkable wine. Suggestions:. Grilled meats, Bolognese pasta, mature Comté red fruit salad. Variety:. 55% Grenache noir - 22% Syrah - 18% Carignan - 5% Mourvèdre. These 4 grape varieties are typical from the French Mediterranean basin. The Syrah brings spicy notes, and a rich, velvety structure. The Grenache, the fruit forward aromatic and the smooth mouth feel. Whereas the Carignan and the Mourvedre bring freshness and a long mouth feel. Location:. The Côtes du Roussillon AOP was established in 1977. It comprises no more than 3000 ha of very steep hillsides with schist, granite and limestone soils. Our vines are located around the village of Maury, at the foot of a cliff dominated by the Chateau de Quéribus (Cathar castle) on soils resulting from the erosion of the Corbières Massif. Vinification:. Since the last vintage, all our vinifications has not "added sulphur". The Grenache and Syrah grapes are traditionally vinified in small temperature-controlled concrete tanks. In order to optimize the wine's fruit and. flexibility, the extraction is gentle, with a quick punching down carried out daily at the start of fermentation. Aging:. Part of the blend of the grape varieties is kept in barrels for ten months. The rest is matured in concrete tanks in. order to preserve the aromas of red fruit and the garrigue. The wine is blended before bottling, at which time it. expresses all its freshness and Mediterranean character. Vintage:. Despite the dry winter, vines in the south of France benefitted from some rainfall during the spring and summer, which made for a balanced vegetative cycle. Summer temperatures were lower than the seasonal average, which slowed the maturing cycle and resulted in later harvests, producing more subtle and more complex grapes. On the 8th September, a full moon phase and plenty of sunshine brought three weeks of beautiful fine weather. And like everyone else, we were therefore pleasantly surprised by the splendid month of September, which made up for any delay in maturity. On Monday 22nd September, Syrah and Carignan grapes in our earliest plots were harvested, as well as a first quality of Grenache Noir grapes (grown on the plots in Maury we acquired during the summer). ** Only 8 in Stock ** |
