Tasting note
Many-layered sweet wine, wafting toasted hazelnuts, dried apriots and smoke into the nostrils and peaches, walnut and toffee onto the tongue.
Viticulture
Clay-limestone with some schistose materials as well as siliceous pebble. Soil perfectly suited for the production of high quality wines. Age of the vines: 50 years-old. Yields: 20hl/ha
Vinification
Direct pressing. The alcoholic fermentation starts at 18°C and is stopped, while still in its liquid phase, by adding neutral alcohol. Alcohol level: 16.5 % Alc/Vol. Residual sugars: 130 g/l.The vineyards which produce the grapes for this wine have clay and limestone soils, with rolled pebbles from the foothills of the Corbières mountain range.
Food Match
Delicious with desserts based on caramel, candied fruits or nuts. For the adventerous half-cooked foie-gras, ginger or curry pork, or cheeses (Cantal, Brie de Meaux).
