Fresh, succulent and juicy on the palate. A lovely tension adds length and creates a deliciously drinkable character. A soft finish with velvety tannins that prolong the wine.
Carcassonne’s fortifications provide the perfect vantage point for gazing over the wine country that peacefully encircles the city, with Malepère bordering to the west, Minervois and Corbières to the east, and to the south, the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks following a short maceration of between 8 and 10 days, with frequent punching down. Care is taken to select only healthy grapes; they will be harvested at optimum ripeness and early in the morning, and entirely de-stemmed.
Pairs well with duck gravlax, sea bream with black olive tapenade, and a strawberry and pistachio panna cotta.
