2016 Le Champ des Murailles Corbières La Petite Muraille

Tasting note La Petite Muraille

Juicy French red wine with the smell 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 provide wines with different aroma and flavor characteristics than grapes from older vines. Every serious wine producer also picks these grapes separately and adjusts the wine preparation.

Pierre Bories owns the wine domains Champ de Murailles and Ollieux Romanis in the southern French Corbières. He makes the grapes of his young vines a very attractive smooth red wine. For this he lets the grape skin briefly soak in the fermenting juice and he ensures a temperature-controlled cool fermentation.

In comparison with the traditional way of wine making, this gives a smoother structure to the wine. But while maintaining a lot of fruit and spice.

This is therefore an ideal wine for spring and summer. And on a hot day this wine tastes even better if you serve it in a slightly chilled setting. Delicious!
