Menu
This high-altitude wine (1335 feets) comes from a semi-mountainous area lying between the Vallée de la Cesse and the Montagne Noire where the vines are rooted in a thick layer of limestone soil. It expresses the ruggedness of the soils, the minerality of the stones and the coolness of the climate.
Grapes picked by hand at perfect maturity complete de-stemming and traditional vinification with gentle extraction. Temperature-controlled fermentation and long maceration lasting 3 weeks. Aged for 6 months in concrete tanks followed by 6 months in bottles.
In this wine, the Grenache expresses itself with power and length. The nose offers up aromas of liquorice and violets with hints of mint. On the palate, the wine is powerful and juicy, then gives way to a lovely freshness on the mid-palate followed by a lingering finish. The tannins are soft and melted. One can easily imagine this wine being served with soft, tender meat such as filet mignon or steak tartare. It would also pair nicely with grilled lamb.
