A distinguished, expressive wine that combines the power of the rolled stones and the finesse of sandy safre soils, with superbly floral notes lifted by soft spices and garrigue
Vinification
Les Chorégies is vinified exclusively in 18hl tuns with almost half of the harvest vinified as whole clusters. The elongated shape of the tuns ensures a significant surface area for exchange between the musts and the skins during vinification. The skins are completely submerged towards the end of fermentation so as to continue extraction in the most gentle way possible by means of infusion. The ripest and smoothest tannins are then extracted after 6 weeks of maceration.
Soil
Rolled pebbles and safer.
Grape variety
90% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre
Aging
This is followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels and 9 months in concrete vats before the wine is left to rest for at least 18 months in the bottle.
