Tasting note La Petite Muraille

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

Description

Grapes from young vines produce wines with different aroma and taste properties than grapes from older vines. Every serious wine producer harvests these grapes separately and adjusts the winemaking process.

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, smooth red wine. To do this, he briefly soaks the grape skins in the fermenting juice and ensures a temperature-controlled cool fermentation.

Compared to the traditional way of making wine, this gives a smoother structure to the wine. But while retaining a lot of fruit and spiciness.

This is therefore an ideal wine for spring and summer. And on a hot day, this wine tastes even better when served slightly chilled. Delicious!
