Carignan 1903 2017 Domaine Le Roc des Anges

1903 Carignan de Shiste

1903年の樹が語る、カリニャンの気品。

ドメーヌの歴史が始まった1903年、カタランの「ラ・トラバセル」の丘に植えられた一区画のカリニャン。鉄分とシリカを含む結晶片岩土壌が、低収量だった時代の上品なカリニャン像を今に伝えます。野生酵母によりコンクリート大桶で発酵させ、木製大樽で9か月熟成。シルキーで濃密な口当たりに、しっかりとしたタンニンと程よいミネラル。ジビエや血のソースを使った料理とともに、熟成を待つのも一興です。

Tasting note

This wine is made from Carignan trees planted in 1903 in a patch of land along the hill called ``La Travaselle'' in Catalan. Made from crystalline schist soil containing iron and silica (silicon dioxide), this cuvée was a model of sublime and elegant Carignan in an era of low production. Very round and ripe, with firm tannins, just the right amount of minerality, and a hint of freshness.

Food pairing

Hare blood and red wine sauce, duck blood sauce, game (birds)
