WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de Montfaucon Les Gardettes Rouge is a premium red wine produced by Château de Montfaucon, a renowned winery located in the southern Rhône Valley. The wine is made from a blend of traditional grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, sourced from the estate's vineyards in the Côtes du Rhône appellation. The vineyards are characterized by their stony soils and Mediterranean climate, which impart a unique terroir-driven character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and structure. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, richly flavored red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones, making it a perfect choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This robust and structured red from Château de Montfaucon is a blend of Grenache and Syrah.Aromas of red fruit, ripe cherries, and a hint of pepper tantalize the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fresh, with an intense expression of ripe red fruits. The tannins are well-structured and balanced with a smooth finish. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to allow for further development.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château de Montfaucon
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
