AOP Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages Latour de France
This wine is dominant of graphitic, leather notes with intense aromas of pepper & black fruits. It is rich and dense on the palate with delicate tannins and a great freshness.
Vineyards
The vineyard is located on Gneiss and schistose soils from the Devonian Period and limestone from Kimmeridgian Period.
Vintage
The very mild winter was accompanied by heavy rainfall (+300mm accumulated in January). Great water reserves built up in the soil, a welcome store in preparation for the region’s scorching summers. Then came a relatively cool start to spring, delaying budburst. About ten days later than a normal vintage.
Winemaking
100% destemmed. Extraction is only carried out by punching of the cap during a long maceration (at least four weeks)
