Cabernet Sauvignon – Montmija
Varietal range:
Single varietal Cabernet-Sauvignon
Soil types:
The vines are located in the very heart of the Minervois, in the La Livinière area. The hot, dry climate promotes the development of aroma during the ripening process which is conducive to producing expressive wines.
Vineyard management:
The vineyards are farmed organically, with no synthetic inputs. Moderate use of pure copper and sulphur, mating disruption, tillage and manual pruning.
Winemaking:
The grapes are harvested entirely by machine. Before the fruit is put into tanks, it is entirely destemmed. Fermentation then lasts for between 25 and 30 days at controlled temperatures with regular and frequent pumping over.
Tasting notes:
Ruby with brilliant highlights. The nose offers up a fusion of black fruits and spices. The palate is ample and smooth with soft tannin presence. The wine is profound and marked by notes of liquorice, blackberries and raspberry jam.
Drink preferably over the first few years after bottling. Matures well for 3 to 4 years.
Drinking temperature:
16 ° C.
Food pairings:
The perfect accompaniment for smoked cold meats, roast and grilled meats, grilled vegetables and mild cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own when chatting with friends or with a piece of dark chocolate.
