Cuvee Nicole 2023 Domaine d'Agues Belles

Nicole 2023

12か月超の樽が与えた、重厚と気品。

シラーとカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンを軸に、サンソーを加えた独創的なブレンドです。長期マセラシオンと12か月を超える樽熟成が、黒系果実やスパイス、シダーの複雑味と力強い骨格をもたらしています。濃密なガーネット色から、ブラックベリーやカシス、熟したプラムの果実香に黒胡椒やクローブ、ほのかなカカオ。豊富ながら熟したタンニンが滑らかな質感をつくります。牛ロースのグリルや鹿肉のローストとともに。

Tasting note

Deep, dense garnet colour. From the glass, concentrated fruit aromas of blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum are layered with spices such as black pepper and cloves, cedarwood, and a subtle hint of cocoa. In the mouth it is full-bodied and powerful, yet very well-balanced. The rich fruitiness from long-term maceration is balanced with the structure and complexity of over 12 months of barrel aging. The tannins are rich yet ripe, creating a smooth texture. The finish is long and elegant, with layers of black fruits, spices, and oak nuances, making this a highly refined wine.

Food pairing

Grilled beef loin, lamb shoulder braised in red wine, roast venison

Winemaking & technical data

Vinification

The grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks with a long maceration period of 3-6 weeks, and then aged for at least 12 months in oak barrels, giving the wine structure, complexity and a subtle oak aroma.
