PICAPOLLE vintage

A vintage dedicated to Piquepoul Noir, one of the oldest grape varieties in our terroirs, which we have decided to bring back into the spotlight.

This wine with its light garnet red hues and very slightly mentholated redcurrant aromas is characterized by its sweetness and perfect balance.

Aude Hauterive IGP
Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

Vintage: 2022

The two grape varieties are vatted together in whole bunches, with the Carignan positioned at the bottom of the vat.
A relatively long carbonic maceration (11 days) is carried out at an average temperature of 29°C at the base of the vat.
Pressing, followed by the assembly of the run and the presses, precedes malolactic fermentation.

This wine has a dark red color with light garnet highlights.
On the nose, we clearly perceive the aromas sublimated by the work in carbonic maceration, with notes of redcurrants enhanced with green pepper and mint.
The palate presents an astonishing roundness, with a supple attack, then an expression of very tender tannins which continues on a round and fresh finish where the fruits and spices are expressed in a very appetizing way.
We recommend a serving temperature of 14-15°C.
