Tasting note
Dark black colour with purple hints. The mouth shows aromas of red fruits, liquorice, olives and leather. The wine is full-bodied and concentrated but supple, with a slight wood flavour and plush tannins. Enjoy within thenext 5 years.
Vineyard
In the Agly valley, near the village of Maury. The vines are planted at the foot of the famous Cathar Castle of Queribus, at about 40 km away from the Mediterranean sea in Roussillon, South of France.
Viticulture
Hand-harvested into small crates with a first selection as the bunches are cut, and then a second sorting of grapes at the cellar door.
Vinification
The fermentation is kept between 20-23°C to maximise the fruit expression and the wine is macerated for 4 weeks with both pumping over and pigeages. 60% of the wine is matured in one wine oak barrel during 6 months. The rest is aged in concrete vats.
