Production notes

This Cabernet-Syrah is made from grapes grown and vinified by the cooperative winery of Limoux. The town of Limoux is located in the department of Aude, in the east of the region Languedoc Roussillon, near the medieval city of Carcassonne, at the foot of the Pyrenees. The climate is both Mediterranean and oceanic, the days are hot, but the nights are relatively cool. This thermal amplitude favours the balance of the wines, the grapes ripen in the sun and the natural acidities are preserved by the freshness of the nights. This balance gives the wine an interesting aging potential and generates a generous wine, rich in tannins and aromas of ripe berries.

Tasting notes

Cabernet Sauvignon - Syrah is primarily a fruity wine with soft tannins. Some of the grapes were macerated at low temperatures to extract an intense colour and concentrate the aromas of black fruits and spices typical of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grape varieties. Round and powerful at the same time, his personality with subtly woody notes is brilliantly expressed.
