- Marselan
18°C
The vineyards are located on two soil types, in the West of Aude and the terraces of the Corbières, in the Fabrezan area. They bask in a Mediterranean climate where daytime heat is counterbalanced by cool night-time temperatures stemming from their average elevation. This promotes the development of aromas in the grapes during ripening, producing a range of wines showing different profiles.
The utmost care is lavished on vineyard management and the health of the fruit. The vines are trained using the Cordon de Royat method.
In traditional, temperature-controlled tanks where fermentation starts at 28°C then the temperature is reduced to 25°C for 10 days. The wines are therefore very full-bodied with fine fruity notes. They are matured in tanks.
The perfect match for cold cuts, grilled foods and cheeses.
The colour is intense with purple glints. The nose is powerful with notes of jammy red and black fruits. The palate is supple with soft tannins and good aromatic intensity.
