NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Château de Raissac Belmont is a prestigious wine with the elegance and complexity of the Languedoc region in France.This wine is known for its rich and vibrant flavors, offering a delightful sensory experience. On the nose, Château de Raissac Belmont presents a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spices and earthy undertones. These aromas create an inviting and enticing aroma profile. The palate of this wine is equally impressive, with a harmonious balance between fruitiness and structure. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, complemented by notes of black pepper and a touch of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. Château de Raissac Belmont is a medium to full-bodied wine with a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses. This wine is best enjoyed in its youth, although it has the potential to age gracefully for a few years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Château de Raissac

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.
