Château Belles Eaux Les Coteaux Languedoc 2022

A red wine from Languedoc in southern France, made by Château Belles Eaux. It is a blend dominated by Grenache and Syrah, with Mourvèdre, harvested late by machine for ripeness and concentration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with maceration for 10-15 days, followed by ageing for 6-12 months on cement and large wooden vats. The soils are schist and limestone clay. Aromas include blackcurrant, ripe cherry, black pepper and a little leather, with juicy fruit, herbs, liquorice, chocolate and lightly toasted wood on the palate, soft tannins, moderate acidity and a warm, spicy finish.
