Croix De Bois 2022
Rhône Valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Ratings
Tasting notes
Appearance:
intense red.
Nose:
Black fruits, blackberry jam.
Palate:
unctuous, ample with warm tannins. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Sommelier's advice:
When the Grenache is elegant, the fruit, which is usually shaken up by the Mistral wind, is of a rare finesse, as is the case here. The delectable nose of crushed strawberries also contains subtle notes of black fruit
and rose petals… the sunny character is fading. With a rare aromatic complexity. Superb!
Grape variety/varieties:
100% Grenache
Harvest:
Hand-picked at optimum ripeness.
Soil:
Located at the eastern end of the appellation facing east, ancient alluvium. Rolled quartzite pebbles, sandy red clay on a molasse base.
Vinification:
Vinification in small concrete vats with 30% whole grapes. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and moderate use of sulphur. Vinification temperature not exceeding 28°C. Maceration for 3 to 4 weeks with very little intervention.
Ageing:
Matured in unlined concrete vats for around 20 months.
Alcohol content:
14.5
