Les Albizzias 2023
Rhône Valley - Côtes-du-Rhône
Tasting notes
Appearance:
bright crimson red with light pink tints.
Nose:
notes of laurel and crushed strawberries laced with a few floral notes (lilies).
Palate:
the intense black fruit (cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants) and garrigue scrubland notes are a perfect foil for this wine’s silky tannins which create the lovely complexity so characteristic of the Côtes-du-Rhône.
Sommelier's advice: Recommended food pairing: Nîmes-style aubergines with Camargue rice.
Grape variety/varieties:
Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan.
Harvest:
The grapes are picked at perfect maturity in the early hours of the morning to ensure they arrive in a fresh condition for the vinification.
Soil:
The vineyard plots are located in the commune of Montfrin. This wine comes from a soil composed of deep red clay and siliceous pebbles of various sizes brought by the sea some several million years ago.
Vinification:
The harvested grapes are totally destemmed and then vinified in concrete tanks. Alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously with the indigenous yeasts and maceration lasts between 5 and 7 weeks. We taste the wine regularly and carry out pumping-over operations every day to gently extract the aromas and tannins.
Ageing:
In concrete tanks on the fine lees. 7-10 months.
Alcohol content:
14.5
