LeClosduCaillou,Châteauneuf-du-PapeRouge,LesSafres,SouthernRhône,France,2023

This wine shows a ruby colour with bright cherry reflections; the nose delivers delicate aromas of ripe strawberries and liquorice. The palate is generous and elegant. Delicate woody notes mingle with aromas of blackcurrant, cherries and cinnamon. The aromatic and taste persistence promises great aging potential.

Hand-picking with sorting in the vineyard and then in cellar. De-stemming (100%) and co-fermentation in concrete tanks with wild yeasts. Pump-over and delestages throughout the grape maceration (38 days). Aged in old foudres (25 years old) during 14 months.
