Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 Domaine Mayard
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 from Domaine Mayard is a refined and complex wine, representing one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Rhône Valley. Made from a blend of Grenache (80%), Cinsault (10%), and Mourvèdre (10%), this wine embodies the essence of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
The grapes come from three specific plots: Grand Coulet in Sorgues, la Crau in the heart of the appellation in Châteauneuf, and le Pointu in the Courthezon woods. Each plot contributes its unique characteristics: Grand Coulet with its rolled pebbles over red clay-sand, la Crau with Miocene sands and Pliocene clays, and le Pointu with Miocene sands. This mix of soils gives the wine exceptional complexity and depth.
The harvest is manual, with rigorous selection of grapes both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, and lasts 4-5 weeks. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged in concrete tanks for 18 months before bottling. This traditional winemaking process preserves the integrity and authenticity of the terroir.
Color: Bright ruby red, immediately catching the eye with its brightness and purity.
Nose: A delicate and complex aromatic bouquet, with notes of strawberries with sugar and red fruits, accompanied by floral hints of peony and delicate rose. These fine aromas offer a sophisticated and seductive olfactory experience.
Palate: On the palate, it is fine and elegant, with a lightly extracted texture that maintains a remarkable balance between freshness and alcohol level. The tannic structure is soft and well-integrated, contributing to an overall sense of harmony and refinement. The finish is long and persistent, with a freshness that invites the next sip.
