Chrysopée Rouge Sélection Parcellaire 2021 6x75cl

Nose: the nose is initially dominated by black fruit, blueberry and graphite notes, and then opens onto hints of spices and violet. Palate: the attack is full, with a fresh, sophisticated palate of silky tannins. The blueberry notes make way for spicy notes that linger on a long-lasting salty finish with a hint of iodine. Great finesse and purity.

Vineyards

Winemaking

The harvest is destemmed without crushing prior to vinification. Extraction is carried out by pumping over the first week, then the following 4 weeks the extraction is carried out by slow infusion to build the wine’s finesse. 70% aged in concrete vats to 30% in demi-muids, for 15-18 months.

Enjoy with:

Veal chop with wild mushrooms, Catalan rack of lamb with rosemary-laced rough mashed potatoes, griddled tuna.
