The vin de terroir par excellence, this cuvée offers Mediterranean, garrigue, and wild red fruit aromas. Distinctive local character with gourmand quality. Attractive color, crystal-clear, with a hint of fuschia. An appetising, expressive nose of cassis, blackberry, and licorice. Excellent mouthfeel that remains silky. Expresses the same aromas on the palate as on the nose: cassis, with a peppery finish. Serve at 60°F. |
|
 |
A pleasant match for red meat (grilled or sauced), fine poultry, or cheese. |
|
 |
Harvest begins in early September for the Syrah and Grenache, and in late September for the Cabernet Sauvignon. |
|
 |
After low-temperature vatting (50°-54°F) and a few days' cold maceration, the juice is briefly vinified to retain this cuvée's rounded, fruity quality. Once the varieties have been blended, the wine is bottled in spring. |
|
 |
Château Calissanne Rouge is made from grapes taken from a 37-acre plot of 30-year-old vines. |
