Le Soura Rouge 2014 Le Soura

Le Soula Rouge 2014

塩気とミネラルが導く、快活な余韻。

全房で2〜3週間醸し、野生酵母で発酵。タンクと樽で20か月熟成させ、清澄を行わず軽い濾過のみで仕上げたキュヴェです。シラーとカリニャンをほぼ同比率で組み、グルナッシュが丸みを添えます。カシスやブラックベリーのビタースウィートな香りに、フローラルな香水とミントが重なる印象。滑らかな舌触りと程よい塩気があり、タンニンと酸の余韻が長く続きます。ステーキのグリルやサンネクテールと合わせて。

Tasting note

The aroma is bittersweet, floral perfume, and minty, reminiscent of a mix of blackcurrant and blackberry. It is very juicy, has a smooth texture, a salinity that is just right to make you salivate, and leads us to the effect of mineral fruit flowers that are lively and refreshing. You will definitely be tempted to drink it little by little. The aftertaste is long, with tannins and acidity that linger for a long time.

Food pairing

Grilled steak, Saint-Nectaire
