Les Dessous des Dentelles Rouge - AOP Gigondas - 2023
Description
The vineyard lies at an altitude of between 300 and 350 metres in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, a jagged mountain range that is a delight for lovers of unspoilt nature and rock climbing. The soil is clay-limestone. The vines, terraced on the hillsides, enjoy maximum sunshine.
65% Grenache - 20% Syrah - 15% Mourvèdre
Winemaking:
Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. Vinified by grape variety to develop the characteristics of each and optimise the subsequent blending process. Whole-berry maceration for approximately 3 weeks to extract aromas and fruit. Aged in vats for 18 months.
A vintage with a distinct Grenache character. The nose is fruity, a blend of raspberry, wild strawberry and redcurrant. There are also the typical scents of dark chocolate mixed with notes of morello cherry and kirsch. On the palate, it is supple and round, with a lovely sweetness underpinned by fruit paste aromas.
Pair with guinea fowl with cabbage or pink-roasted squabs.
This wine has no storage limit.
