55% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre
Intense ruby color with violet hues.
Expressive nose of cassis, cherry jam and sweet licorice. Cuttlefish ink notes.
The palate is characterized by its density and minerality. A lot of sweetness tempered by the freshness and its aromatic register of black fruit and shale. Fresh truffle notes. The finish is remarkably melted and fine, with great tannic density. Very persistent. A wine of great expression, concentrated and elegant.
Château Fortia Cuvée Du Baron Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019
BALANCE AND COMPLEXITY
This wine was created in 2001 in honour of Baron Pierre Le Roy de Boiseaumarié.With a blend in which Grenache and Syrah have pride of place, its complexity, opulence and delicate spicy and ripe fruit aromas, the Cuvée du Baron veritably embodies the distinctiveness of our terroir.
WINEMAKING METHOD
Harvested entirely by hand with sorting on the plot, the bunches are delicately picked and then transported in crates in order to ensure the perfect condition of all the grapes and to avoid any oxidation.
Destemmed to the tune of 90%, the grapes are then transferred to concrete or stainless steel vats. Fermentation and 4 to 5 weeks of maceration make it possible to extract all the colour and aromas from the grapes. Cask-ageing of between 18 to 24 months allows the wine to gently flourish. It is then bottled and left to rest in our ageing cellars
