Château des Crès Ricards Oenothera 2015
Terrasses de Larzac, Coteaux du Languedoc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceOenothera is grown in the Côteaux du Languedoc on the Cru Grand Vin Terrasses du Larzac, a special piece of distinctive red dirt made of limestone, clay and pebbly stones on steep, terraced vineyards. Oenothera is mix of parcels with 30-year-old syrah vines and 43-year-old grenache vines. The ferment is a mix of traditional maceration, daily delestage and whole-grape carbonic maceration, all matured for a year in oak casks. The final blend id 84/15 syrah/grenache. The nose is a delightful mix of spicy, mocha blackcurrants with bits of tobacco. The palate is soft and round with some mid-palate freshness to support a whack of black cherry and licorice. Impressive, high quality here. The-28 hectare Domaine des Crès Ricards was established in the early 1960s, and the vineyard is situated at an altitude of 60 metres.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
