WINE DESCRIPTION
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape, composed of Grenache and Mourvèdre, is sourced from sandy soils within "Le Clos" near "La Guigasse." Harvest began with hand-picking and meticulous sorting. The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented in concrete tanks using wild yeasts, with techniques like pump-overs and manual punch-downs during a 40-day maceration. The wine aged for 14 months, with 90% in demi-muids (600L) of varying ages and 10% in a terracotta amphora (500L), resulting in a beautifully crafted and nuanced wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine exhibits an alluring carmine red color with hints of red falun.The nose reveals enticing aromas of crushed strawberry and wild berries, accented by Madagascar vanilla pods. On the palate, a superb tannic structure is balanced by a refreshing brightness, unfolding an aromatic explosion of crushed black fruits intertwined with gentle spices. Ideal pairings include duck in orange sauce, lamb tagine with apricot, and guinea fowl with plums.
