Tasting note La Petite Muraille

Juicy French red wine with the scent of fine red fruit and spices. The fresh and soft taste combines well with cold dishes or lightly grilled dishes.

Description

Grapes from young vines produce wines with different odor and taste characteristics than grapes from older vines. Every serious wine producer will harvest these grapes separately and adjust the wine making.

Pierre Bories owns the Champ de Murailles and Ollieux Romanis wine estates in Corbières in southern France. He turns the grapes from his young vines into a very attractive supple red wine. For this he allows the grape peel to soak briefly in the fermenting juice and he ensures a temperature-controlled cool fermentation.

In comparison with the traditional way of making wine, this gives the wine a smoother structure. But with preservation of a lot of fruit and spiciness.

This is therefore an ideal wine for spring and summer. And on a warm day, this wine tastes even better if you serve it lightly chilled. Delicious!
