06/10/11 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Cinsault. The grapes come from various plots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with a high proportion of the famous ‘galets roulets’. The fruit was 30% harvested by hand and 70% by machine with an average yield of 30hl/ha. There was a week-long cool pre-ferment maceration and then a long fermentation lasting 3 weeks. The must was gently pressed, then aged in oak casks for at least 6 months. Winemaker Thierry Walet. Alc 14.0%, TA 4.7g/l, pH 3.6, RS 2.9g/l. Special Offer: Save 1/3, £20.99 - £13.99 from 07/12/11 to 03/01/12. Waitrose Wine Direct and 263 branches. IWC 2011 Bronze Medal Winner. Not a lot on the nose. I remember this being lovely. Sweet and light and not as good as it was in May. |
