Chateauneuf du Pape LA MASEL

Hand-picked at peak maturity and fast transportation in small containers to the winery to avoid juice release and oxydation. Destemming, 4 to 5 weeks maceration, pumping over and daily release. Controlled temperature at 28°C to 30 °C. Matured for 8-12 months in concrete tanks before bottling depending on the years. No oak to show the purest expression of the Grenache and the terroir. The wine has a deep ruby red colour. Complex, concentrated and elegant wine with aromas of red currant, red cherries, black berries with spicy overtones such as lavender, thyme and rosemary. Excellent balance in the mouth, tannins are elegant and silky. Due to the combination of the sandy subsoil and the Grenache, the wine is showing finesse and elegance.
