Baron de Monte-Carlo – Châteauneuf-du-Pape – Red Wine – Luxury Limited Edition – 750 ml

Appellation

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, CRU

Grapes

80 % Grenache, 15 % Syrah, 5 % Mourvèdre

Soil

Rolled pebbles, deposited millions of years ago during the Ice Age, made of quartzite, a pure, hard silica often mixed with red clay. The pebbles accumulate solar heat during the day and release it in the evening; an alluvial soil where clay and fine sand are mixed. The result is a deep and concentrated wine, fine and elegant. The region enjoys one of the longest hours of sunshine in France. The «Mistral», the north wind, ensures a good state of health of the vines and grapes. This is the terroir par excellence for the Grenache grape variety which dominates the blend.

Yield

30 hl/hac

Vinification

After harvesting by hand and double sorting, destemming is followed by classic vinification, best expressing the grape varieties and terroirs. Vatting for 20 to 30 days. Control of temperatures up to 28°c.

Tasting

A beautiful ruby color with lively reflections reveals a nose with notes of cherries, blackberries and fine spices. Its sensuality on the palate is expressed by its depth and suppleness with aromas of kirsch and blackcurrant ending with notes of white pepper, thyme and liquorice with silky tannins. Complex wine with roundness, power and good length in the mouth.
