Chateau D'Angles Classique Red La Clape 2012
La Clape, Coteaux du Languedoc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceScrubby Mediterranean herbs season this Languedoc red, from the limestone laced sloped soils of La Clape. Syrah, grenache and mourvedre were grown without chemicals, and picked throughout a two-month harvest, led by the ripeness of each grape. Thirty days maceration was followed by eighteen months in vat, before bottling without fining or filtering. The result is a finely textured, medium bodied, bistro-rustic red, scented with plums, wild cassis and thorns. Tannins are appropriately grippy/sticky and acidity is brisk through to the drying finish. Enjoyed with pork chops and lardon-lashed lentils.Tasted: 08 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
