Chanson Rouge 2010

Mourvedre
Syrah
Merlot

 

Vinification: Traditional, the grapes are handpicked, after rigorous sorting and crushing they are transferred to open fermentation tanks. Aged for 3 months in French oak barrels, the final blend is bottled without fining or filtering.

Tasting notes: The excellent 2010 vintage clearly reflects the “terroir” characteristics inherent in the wines of Clos de Gat. The wine has an intense dark purple colour, it is finely structured, medium bodied and has lingering aromas of black and red berry fruits. On the palate it is intensely fresh, with good acidity and well integrated tannins. The finish is long and lively, with lingering spicy and savoury Mediterranean flavours.

Drink: 1-4 years from vintage

Serving Temperature: 16-18°C
 
Serving Suggestions: Mediterranean cuisine, grilled, roasted meats, casseroles and cheeses.
