Soil and terroir of silico-limestone with mica schists whose weathering has given rise to clayey soils, rich in iron oxides. Average age of the vines: Around 25 years.
Production notes
Manual harvest and sorting of bunches. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Automatic pegging system. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration for four weeks. Single aging of forty months in new pieces.
Tasting notes
Ruby red color with dark reflections. Nose of small red fruits (morello cherry, blackberry), spicy notes (black pepper). Powerful and elegant aromatic intensity. Quite supple entry in the mouth and a beautiful harmony between the suppleness, the concentration of the wine and the finesse of the tannins. Strong expression of the terroir. While possessing the virility of the Brown Coast, La Turque has the subtlety and feminine overtones of a blonde. Perfect match with small game, hare à la royale, etc. Serve at 16 ° C.
