Les Côteaux de Montmirail 2019 - AOP Gigondas
Terroir: The estate is located on hillsides, in the heart of the exceptional terroir of the Massif des Dentelles de Montmirail. *
Vinification and aging: For our reds, we are looking for gourmet and fresh wines, on a mild tannic basis. We work in traditional vinification, with bi-daily tasting of the vats, which allows us to master the extraction of the structure. Maceration under marc for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the cuvées, in order stengthen the melted and the elegance of the tannins. Breeding on fine lees to preserve aromas and give a good fat while coating the tannins.
Wine tasting: An intense and deep colour, with purple reflections. A complex nose with great finesse, on stewed black fruits, spices and floral nuances. The mouth is powerful and mineral, fresh, with a long and salty finish. The tannins offer a solid body and suggest a beautiful aptitude for aging.
Food and wine pairing: Ideal on character dishes, game, spicy cuisine or a nice assortment of cheeses. Decant before tasting to release the aromatic texture. Can age over 5 to 7 years
