Notes de dégustation
This red wine from the Cairanne appellation has a beautiful intense ruby color. On the nose, it offers a rich aromatic palette, with notes of cocoa, cooked fruit, garrigue and Sichuan pepper. The attack on the palate is fleshy and intense, the patinated tannins highlighting the velvety aromas of cocoa and liquorice. The finish is silky and persistent, leaving a pleasant memory in the mouth.
Vinification
Traditional winemaking. Maceration for 3 weeks. Alcoholic fermentation with temperature control. Malolactic fermentation. Long and careful aging for 18 months in concrete vats.
