La Chapelle de Vespail 2018 Clos des Fées

La Chapelle de Vespeille 2018

熟成が磨いた、濃密で伸びやかな余韻。

カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンにシラーを重ねた、コート・カタランの赤。ブルーベリーやエルダーベリー、チェリーにメントールが混ざる華やかな香りがグラスいっぱいに広がります。色調は濃く密度感があり、アタックはシルキー。ブラックベリーやイチゴジャムを思わせるクリーミーな口当たりに、樽と瓶での熟成が磨いた力強いタンニンが溶け込みます。ローストビーフや豚のスペアリブとともに。さらに3年ほどの熟成にも応えます。

Tasting note

This wine is deep in color and dense. The attack is silky, with a creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of blackberry and strawberry jam. The tannins are powerful yet well-integrated, perfectly polished and refined by aging and bottle aging. It has a rounded structure and a long, clear, and straightforward finish. It has the potential for further aging in the bottle, and is expected to age for at least three years.

Food pairing

Roast beef, grilled pork spare ribs, uncoated (bone-in rib roast)

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
A vineyard with a terroir unique to the Roussillon region.
The well-ventilated, calcareous and stony soil is rich in iron oxides.

brewing
Each variety is vinified separately. Cold pre-fermentation maceration and delestage (recirculation) are carried out daily. Gentle extraction is achieved with 15-21 days of maceration. After pressing with a pneumatic press, the lees are quickly and completely reintegrated. Malolactic fermentation is carried out early, and 10% of the total wine is aged in barrels, adding complexity to the aromas.
