Tasting notes
Nose:
A complex and aromatic bouquet opens with dark berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Subtle hints of licorice, dried herb and graphite add depth, while a touch of black pepper and spices indicate the wine's time in barrel.
Taste:
The taste is deep and structured with ripe tannins and a perfect balance between freshness and concentration. The flavor profile is dominated by dark fruits such as cherries and plums, supported by notes of smoky minerality and dried Mediterranean herbs.
Aftertaste:
A long, elegant finish with a touch of cocoa and a mineral note that lingers and invites another sip.
The production behind the quality
L'Extrême Rouge 2016 is made from old vines growing on schist soils in the most remote parts of the Corbières. The grapes, ladone pelut and syrah, are harvested manually to preserve their full quality. The wine is fermented with natural yeast and aged in small oak barrels, which gives structure and complexity without overpowering the wine's natural character.
Recommendations for serving
Serve this wine at 16-18°C to highlight its aromas and complexity. It is an ideal companion to hearty dishes such as lamb dishes, game or grilled beef. It will also be a pleasure to enjoy alone as a meditative wine.
