An exciting nose with aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant,
cherry) spices and vanilla.
Appearance
Deep and brilliant, purple-red colour.
Palate
This great aromatic complexity is found on the palate : the spices and
ripe fruit appear with an elegant woodiness and harmonious tannins. The finish has good
aromatic length and introduces a touch of liquorice and pepper. A terrific Châteauneuf du Pape with great concentration and finesse.
Vinification
Harvest is sorted by hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation temperature is controlled at
30°C.
Vatting period of 18 to 20 days. Matured in vats (grenache) and in oak casks (syrah and
mourvèdre).
Cellaring Potential
Between 2 and 20 years. Best to decant if young (less than 5 years old).
Region Notes
Extreme north of Châteauneuf du Pape. This plateau is made with a high quantity of red clay
mixed with rocks.
This area is considerated to be one of the best to produce rich and powerful red wines. By
definition, LES ORIGINES will always deliver a great complexity and ageing potential.
