Bila-Haut Rouge 2022 6x75cl
Aromas of black cherry, on the palate this wine is fleshy and well-structured with the warm soils of the Roussillon area.
Vineyards
The plots are located on the slopes of the high Agly Valley. They are composed of gneiss and schist from the Devonian Period with calcareous clay.
Vintage
A mild, wet winter preceded the 2022 vintage, and was followed by an unprecedentedly hot summer with minimal rainfall. Extreme heat and drought conditions accelerated grape ripening, leading to an early harvest. In the face of adversity, the vines coped well, drawing from spring water reserves and delivering a vintage that showcases exceptional aromatic complexity, freshness and minerality.
Winemaking
Hand-harvest and entirely destemmed. The maceration lasts from 2 to 4 weeks according to daily tastings.
