Cuvée Patricia

Full-bodied with fine aromas of ripe fruits and vanilla

Appellation : Vin de Pays d’Oc.

Soil : Stony chalky-clayey soils and acid gravelly-clayey soils in a dry and warm climate area producing concentrated and aromatic wines.

Cultivation : Gentle vinemanagement to protect soils and biodiversity.

Wine-making process : Early morning harvesting. 100% de-stemming. Inerting with CO2
(to avoid adding sulfites).
Alcoholic fermentation at 25 °C. to 27 °C. for 30-35 days with 2 pumping overs a day in order to extract aromas and tannins into the wine. Micro-oxygenation with a microbubbler. Bleeding (80%) and soft pneumatic pressing (2h) with separation of the pressed wine.
Culturing of the malolactic fermentation with the first pressed wines.

Ageing : Into Bordeaux‘s barrels (French oak) for 12 months in a cask ageing cellar with a constant ambiant temperature (10°C.) and a stable humidification (70% of humidity), then storage in bottles in a 10°C air conditioned and humidifed (50%) ageing storehouse during 12 months more.

Red grape varieties : Blending with 50% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 50% Merlot.

Tasting : Colour: Intense crimson red robe.
Nose: Expressive nose of concentrated red fruit, jam, toffee and gingerbread
aromas. This “gourmand” nose marked by notes of vanilla is very soft.
Taste: The flavours of candied black fruits well-matched by hints of toasted bread, give length and suppleness to this opulent and well-structured wine sustained by velvety tannins, this wine is greatly well-balanced. The aromatic
persistence concludes with a delicate sensation of vanilla-flavoured fruits.

Our advice : Delicatessen, red meats cooked in a sauce (wild boar stew, stag cooked in a « Grand Veneur » sauce), capons, poultry with truffles, game, steaklet duck with honey, turquey, stuffed vegetables, mushrooms, fermented cheeses, plum tart, pudding…

Service temperature : Between 17°C. and 19°C, allowed to settle before serving.

Preservation : 5 to 7 years.

Packing : 75cl bottle (Case of 6).
