AOP Languedoc Domaine de la Chapelle

Domaine de la Chapelle peaks on a hill overcoming the high-valley of Hérault gorges. The nearby Larzac area offers a great place to ripe perfectly Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. These varieties give you thus the best expression of our terroir. The Carignan vinification is traditionally done with carbonic maceration to offer a powerful red fruit expression. The Syrah and Grenache are vinified separately and placed into vats where temperatures are maintained between 25°C and 30°C during three weeks. The extraction is softly managed in order to respect the expression of the grapes and to reveal the fruits and smoothy tannins. The ageing in oak barrels enhances complexity and full body. The varieties offer an harmonious combination of ripe berry fruits and lovely spices with depth and elegance. On the palate it is silky and refreshing with menthol and spicy notes and balanced with good tannins.
