M. Chapoutier Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 2022 750ml - France

M. Chapoutier Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 750ml

This wine is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, sourced from select vineyard parcels across the Drôme, Vaucluse, Gard, and Ardèche regions. The vineyards benefit from diverse soils, including clay-limestone terraces and gravelly alluvial deposits, contributing to the wine's complexity and richness. After hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo destemming and are vinified in concrete tanks for four weeks. The fermentation process includes gentle extraction techniques to preserve aromatic compounds and tannins. The wine is then aged for six months in concrete tanks, allowing for a harmonious integration of flavours.
