M.Chapoutier Rouge Clair

Grapes: 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah

Organic

Character: Delicate aromas of strawberries, mashed raspberries with floras notes which gives a light touch. Clear and vivid attack, with a well-balanced acidity which makes the tasting refreshing. The delicate and fruity final leaves a nice sensation.

Goes well with: Excellent with light dishes, spicy flavors like tandoori chicken, or French classics like pâté en croûte, thanks to its soft tannins.

About the wine: The selected vines are well-balanced, not overly vigorous, and harvested in perfect health. Mechanical harvesting is carried out at night, and the grapes are picked slightly under-ripe to preserve the purity of fruitiness and freshness. After de-stemming and vatting, the grapes are yeasted and cooled for 72 hours without intervention to limit color extraction and enhance aromas. Alcoholic fermentation then continues at 20°C, followed by light sulfiting after malolactic fermentation to preserve the fruit’s brilliance. The Grenache and Syrah vats are blended a few weeks after vinification. Aged in stainless steel vats for 3 months.
