Châteauneuf-du-Pape

 

2018 VINTAGE : The 2018 Vintage is a Vintage that will remain exceptional in many ways in the memory of the winegrowers of the region. Indeed, after an important release of bunches of grapes, everything suggested that theMillésime would be generous. It was without counting on an extremely rainy Spring with more than 300 mm in April and May. Deprived of the Mistral, the atmosphere was humid and warm, ideal conditions for the development of Mildew. "Never before seen" for the elders. This period demanded a lot of energy, especially for our vineyard, which is organically cultivated. Fortunately, the summer proved to be hot and dry, offering a very good sanitary state, allowing us to harvest grapes of excellent quality. Marked by low yields (17 to 20 hl/ha), the wines are endowed with great elegance, silky tannins and remarkable balance. An attractive vintage, in small quantities!

SOIL CHARACTERISTICS: Soil composed of sand and saffron (compacted sand) located in the area known as "Les Bédines".

ASSEMBLY : 75% Grenache - 25% Mourvèdre

VINIFICATION: Hand picked with sorting in the vineyard and then in the cellar.  100% de-stemming, then co-fermentation in wooden truncated cone vats by indigenous yeasts.

AGEING : In tuns (75%) and in demi-muids (25%) for 14 months.

TASTING : This wine has a pretty clear Amaranth red colour with purple reflections. The nose presents pretty aromas of red fruits, orange peel and salted butter. The palate is unctuous, fresh, with notes of cocoa seeds and cherries in brandy. Very nice balance, a lot of finesse and good length.

 

AGING SUGGESTIONS : Roast venison - Skewer of thrushes - Teal salmis.
