AOC Châteauneuf du Pape

CHARACTERISTICS

Made from old vines of Grenache, here comes the first wine processed by the New Generation of Domaine de Tout Vent, only bottled in magnums after 14 months of ageing in used 1/2 muids. Only 500 units, numbered, are available.

Like our Cuvée Mistral, this cuvée can be considered as a « reserve » in our cellar. In its youth, this wine has a deep bright red colour with purple glints. As it ages, colour changes and acquires tile-red nuances.
On the nose, we discover a delicate complexity, with berries, pepper, vanilla, licorice and leather. In what concerns the mouth, this wine is very concentrated, very rich. During its youth, it needs to be aerated into a carafe for 2 hours to open itself right.
A warm alcohol and well-matured tannins are present but not agressive, and give the necessary structure to this wine that is still round and velvety. The after-taste is very pleasant and lingers longly on the palate.

WINE AND FOOD

We can imagine nice « weddings » with courses that include ingredients like tasty red meats ( lamb, beaf duck, game), vegetables like eggplant, beans, red pepperonni, zuchini, preserved tomatoes, garlic, provence herbs, not forgetting spices, in short, all the ingredients that are used in a real mediterranean way of cooking, not forgetting truffle, good cheeses and black chocolate.
