Côtes du Rhône Lavau Vintage Tour red wine

LOCATION : This wine comes from a selection of vineyards from across the southern Rhône Valley, extending from Montélimar to Nîmes.
VINEYARDS AND TERROIR : The Grenache and Syrah are planted in clay-limestone plains and cultivated to achieve yields of around 50 hl/ha
GRAPE VARIETIES : Grenache noir (60%) Syrah (40%)
PRODUCTION :
The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats to macerate for around 15 days with only pumping-over operations, after a cold pre-fermentation maceration. The wine is aged in vats until it is bottled 1 year later.
TASTING NOTES :
A lovely expression of blackcurrants and crushed raspberries on the nose, fresh and fruity on the palate.
SERVING AND FOOD PAIRINGS :
16°C, slightly cooler than for the cru wines. Enjoy with a variety of dishes and grilled meats.
