Collioure Rouge 2016

• 75cl bottle

The nose is initially dominated by black fruit, blueberry and graphite notes, and then opens onto hints of spices and violet. A fresh and sophisticated palate of silky tannins. The blueberry notes make way for spicy notes that linger on a long-lasting salty finish with a hint of iodine. Great finesse and purity.

Vineyards

Cambrian mica-schist terraces, overlooking the sea in “lieu-dit” Taillelauque.

Vintage

This year was full of surprises and will remain ingrained in our memories due to its unpredictable weather! It was a true winemakers’ vintage and the month of September made it what it is. The northern reds show a classic and pure style, with exceptional potential.

Winemaking

The harvest is destemmed without crushing prior to vinification. Extraction is carried out by pumping over the first week, then the following 4 weeks the extraction is carried out by slow infusion to build the wine’s finesse.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
• Pizza/Pasta
• Casseroles/Stews
