Producer article for "Domaine de la Charbonnière" |
| (last edited 9/19/2020 2:02:25 PM by srh) Producer website - Read more about Charbonniere a U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info) AOC Red Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Hautes Brusquières Grape varieties : This cuvee is made up of Grenache (70%) and Syrah (30%) The vines are between 30 to 50 years old. Situation and soil type : All the grapes come from the Brusquières plateau, in the north of Châteauneuf du Pape, where we can find the famous round pebbles and a clayey subsoil Vats : Wood and stainless steel with temperature control Vatting : Since 2000, we have decided to destem and to crush all grapes Vatting lasts 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the vintage at a temperature between 25 and 30°C A release or a punching of the cap is done every 2 days and pumping over every day. The malolactic fermentation happens in barrels and vats. Ageing : Ageing continues in barrels and big oak tanks during 12 – 18 months depending on the vintage. Tasting : This is an atypical cuvee in terms of its complexity of aromas: deep spice, black fruit flavors and chocolate notes are overlaid with leather and a wild complexity. This complex nectar needs a long cellaring to 15 years from vintage. Further information: The cuvee bottled without filtration is stocked in our warehouse air-conditioned at 16°C.
