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 aroma and flavor characteristics than grapes from older vines. Every serious wine producer harvests these grapes separately and adjusts the winemaking accordingly.

Pierre Bories owns the Champ de Murailles and Ollieux Romanis wine estates in Corbières, southern France. He makes a very attractive smooth red wine from the grapes of his young vines. 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 warm day, this wine tastes even better when served slightly chilled. Delicious!
