29 Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Rouge 2006
Clos du Rouge Gorge, Cyril FhalGrape:95% Carignan, 5% Grenache (14% alc.)
Very low yields from 70 to 100 year old vines, meticulous grape selection in the vineyard, gentle extraction (more like infusion), sensitive handling of oak (16 months new to one year old barriques), and minimal sulphur, combine to produce this extraordinary wine. Exuding spicy black fruits with liquorice and a notable mineral freshness, it has an exceptional texture and suppleness with great balance and length. For drinking now to 2015.
