"The Belle" is an invitation to travel through wines that combine grace and finesse.
Terroir
The vineyards are grown on various soils in Languedoc:
- on the foothills of the Cévennes, for the roundness, spicy and fruity aromas that these grapes bring to the blend,
- in the Aude Valley, for the structure and length.
In the vineyard
The vineyards are cultivated at an average altitude of about 150 meters on acidic soils with lots of rocks.
Winemaking
The clusters are completely destemmed and undergo a long maceration at low temperature (in order to obtain a rich and long wine), with pumping over. Malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine is aged in tanks for 6 months. 5 to 10% are in contact with wood to give complexity to the wine.
Varietal
Cabernet sauvignon : 100%
Tasting
With its beautiful dark red dress, this wine is elegant, complex, and velvety. It offers aromas of blackcurrant and strawberry with notes of spices, cinnamon, mint, and honey and a hint of vegetal freshness typical of this grape variety. The finish is subtle with notes of cedar and oak.
Food pairings
