France, Languedoc AOC
Grenache, Syrah
Description
Pale pink color with pretty sparkling reflections. Pleasant aromatic complexity on the nose, with notes of small red fruits evolving towards exotic fruits and spices. Round and fresh on the palate, rich in fruity and spicy notes, with a lot of volume and sweetness thanks to the ageing on fine lees.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested at the coolest hours of the night. They are then directly pressed for Grenache and bled for Syrah, away from oxygen, to ensure optimal preservation of the aromas. Settling at low temperature, temperature regulation of must between 14 and 16 °C.
Vineyard
Located in the heart of the largest classified natural site in Languedoc, Château Capitoul takes advantage of its unique location and stands as an exclamation point at the end of the peninsula. The “La Clape appellation” was recognised and elevated to the rank of vintage in 2015, joining the most prestigious French appellations with international renown.
TERROIR Its 100 hectares of pine forests and moors and 64 hectares of vines in one piece, come to surrender to the sea. This vineyard is strongly influenced by the maritime entries and produces wines of great freshness. The geological diversity of the soils, clayey-gravelly, limestone-marly and clayey-limestone, accentuates the power and elegance of its vintages.
