Minervois

Range Les Terroirs

Ruby red in colour. This is a superb vintage featuring an excellent Syrah. The nose is powerful, with aromas of blueberry and strawberry, followed by hints of black truffle, before giving way to notes of chocolate and cinnamon. The attack on the palate is round and rich, with excellent balance. On the palate, black fruits – prune and ripe cherry – are present before giving way to eucalyptus and mentholated aromas on the finish. This is a very indulgent Minervois that possesses the elegance of the appellation but with a distinct character that leaves no one indifferent.

Vinification

Hand-harvested, sorted and destemmed. Traditional vinification in concrete vats. A few gentle pump-overs at the start of alcoholic fermentation, followed by longer, aerated pump-overs thereafter. Fermentation temperatures are maintained at around 28°C. The wine is left on the lees for a total of one month. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally after the first racking.
