$42.00
Description
Description
Nose: notes of laurel and crushed strawberries laced with a few floral notes (lilies).
Palate: the intense black fruit (cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants) and garrigue scrubland notes are a perfect foil for this wine’s silky tannins which create the lovely complexity so characteristic of the Côtes-du-Rhône.
Grape variety/varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan.
Soil: The vineyard plots are located in the commune of Montfrin. This wine comes from a soil composed of deep red clay and siliceous pebbles of various sizes brought by the sea some several million years ago.
Vinification: The harvested grapes are totally destemmed and then vinified in concrete tanks. Alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously with the indigenous yeasts and maceration lasts between 5 and 7 weeks. We taste the wine regularly and carry out pumping-over operations every day to gently extract the aromas and tannins.
Ageing: In concrete tanks on the fine lees. 7-10 months.
Alcohol content: 14.5
