Château de Gassis

Soil : The 35 years old vines are planted on a clay limestone soil, on a hillside, which gives the berries their maturity.

Vineyard area : 25ha.

Vine yield : 42hecto/hectare.

Vine growing : The planting density is about 4500 plant per hectare, we work our soils mechanically and practice reasoned agriculture on the property since 1990. We do a short pruning in order to reduce our yields and obtain the best quality for our berries.

Winemaking : The harvest is done mechanically, then we use a sorting table at the winery and temperature control to follow. We realize a long maceration of 8 weeks to produce colorful wines focused on flavours.

Tasting : This is a rich, generous wine. Its alcohol and dark fruits are balanced by acidity to give a wine that has both structure and juicy black-currant flavors. Drink this generous wine from 2021.
