Croix De Bois 2020
Rhône Valley - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Cotations
Dégustation
Oeil :
intense red.
Nez :
Black fruits, blackberry jam.
Bouche :
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.
Les conseils du Sommelier :
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!
Cépage(s) :
Grenache.
Vendanges :
Selective hand picking at maturity.
Sol :
The soil, typical of the appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is composed of big quartzite shingles and sandy red clay.
Vinification :
Vinifications are made in concrete tanks. Grapes are destemmed and the vatting lasts around 3 weeks, in order to polymerize the tannins. Only the free-run juice is used to make this wine.
Elevage :
Ageing in tanks between 14 and 16 months.
Degré d’alcool :
15.5
