Les Jamelles, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rouge, 2024
Presentation
- A selection of grapes from 4 terroirs: rich soils that lend opulence, complexity and richness and terroirs with an oceanic influence for crispness.
- A grape variety with a strong personality : a rich and complex wine with vegetal and spicy notes.
Terroir
The grapes come from four meticulously selected terroirs: the environs of Narbonne to lend richness and opulence to the wine; the Aude River plain for length and structure; those from the slopes of the Orb Valley contribute velvety tannins, richness and complexity; and finally, the western Aude department, under whose oceanic influence freshness dominates.
Subtle blending allows the cuvées from these four terroirs to yield an elegant, complex wine with pleasing velvetiness and lovely length on the palate.
Winemaking
The grapes are completely destemmed. Maceration, under monitored temperatures, is long and includes several pump-overs.
Ageing
Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in tanks for 7 to 9 months. A small portion of the cuvée is oak-aged.
