Tasting note
The most serious and complex of Maison Sinnae's 'Éléments' range, this is a Côtes du Rhône Villages wine from vineyards around the village of Chusclan. It has savoury, truffley, gamey notes on the nose and more concentration, density and structure.
Viticulture
Dominated by the Castle of Gicon, the vineyard is located on the right bank of the Rhône River, 15 km north of Avignon, and 15 km away from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, in the very heart of the Southern Rhône Valley vineyards. The grapes are coming from carefully selected plots of vine located on a soil characterized by clay, sand and pebbles.
Vinification
80% traditional process (crushed and destemmed harvest) - 20% carbonic maceration process. Fermentation at controlled temperature (around 26°c) for 20 days.
Food Match
This would stand up well to rich meat, mushroom or bean casserole dishes.
