Chateau Saint-Roch ‘Chimeres'

Description:

The terroir is composed of clayey-schist slopes with a limestone base and an altitude varying between 120 and 470 meters. Hand-harvested into small crates with a first selection as the bunches are cut, and then a second sorting of grapes at the cellar door. The fermentation is kept between 20-23°C to maximise the fruit expression and the wine is macerated for 4 weeks with both pumping over and pigeages. 60% of the wine is matured in new and one wine oak barrel during 6 months.

🍇: Grenache & Carignan 

Tasting Notes:

This awesome Côtes du Roussillon Villages has amplified aromas of squeezed black cherries, with just a touch of prune juice. It is vibrant, sumptuous, honest and delicious, with a wealth of fruit character and hints of cured meat and rusty nail underneath. There is fresh acidity to balance all the concentration and ripeness, bringing about a well-proportioned whole.

Enjoy: 

Hearty dishes like grilled lamb, beef steak, smoky game burgers, roast chicken, and mature cheeses
