Pie VI 2022
Rhône Valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Tasting notes
Appearance:
deep ruby.
Nose:
nose of ripe fruit, spice and bitter cocoa. Notes of blackberry jelly and aromatic herbs emerge once the wine has had chance to breathe.
Palate:
soft with velvety tannins on entry, the palate shows a lovely balance of concentration and complexity. The notes of liqueurs and rich juice give way to hints of soft spice and dark chocolate on the finish.
Sommelier's advice: Recommended food pairing: candied pork cheek with chanterelles.
Grape variety/varieties:
80 % Grenache. 20 % Syrah.
Harvest:
By hand.
Soil:
Lower terraces of the Rhône, old alluvial deposits, pebbles over Creteceous marl.
Vinification:
Vinification in rough concrete tanks. The harvested grapes are totally destemmed. Fermentation with native yeasts. Progressive increase of temperature to 28-30°C. 4-5 weeks’ vatting with minimalist extraction resulting in a passive infusion and stirring of the lees during the last 3 weeks.
Ageing:
Around 18 months in rough concrete tank.
