The perfect Christmas wines Paradoxe

Deep dark red color with the scent of ripe black fruit, spices and light oak. The taste is full and powerful, almost sultry, with nuances of freshly roasted coffee. The finish is long and persistent.

Special bottle, also available in blanc

Louis-Marie and François Teisserenc have adapted the style of their top wine, the Paradoxe, from the 2009 harvest. The portion of Bordeaux grapes is gradually being reduced and that of the typical southern French grape varieties syrah and grenache is increased. The syrah vineyard is of phenomenal quality and now accounts for almost 60% of the assembly.

The grapes are harvested manually with the very limited yield of 35 hl / ha for this area. After fermentation, it is matured for 12 months in new oak casks. A method that suits a wine of a high level.

As of the 2009 vintage, Arjolle is largely using new barrels from famous Burgundy tonneliers such as Mercurey Chassin and Seguin Moreau. These casks limit the direct influence of the oak wood, but above all impart elegance and finesse. A great wine!
