Corbieres Vieilles Vignes Rouge, Chateau Fontareche

Corbieres Vieilles Vignes Rouge

Description

A powerful wine with toasted fragrances and aromas of warm spices. Vinified by carbonic maceration and aged in oak barrels for approximately 70% of the volume.

The color of this wine is a deep garnet red.

The nose is powerful, mixing warm spices and toasted and roasted fragrances. In the background, the black fruit brings delicacy and delicacy.

On the palate, the attack is frank, tinged with a freshness that will accompany the entire tasting; this rich and harmonious blend reveals a lovely fruit that resonates pleasantly with the toasted notes. The whole is perfectly linked and structured by very perceptible and elegant tannins.
