Wine description

The vineyard is cultivated organically and biodynamically.
16.5/20 in the Bettane+Desseauve Guide 2020
Château des Karantes is an exceptional vineyard located in the heart of a small valley, surrounded by the rocky cliffs of the Massif de la Clape, classified as a natural park.
The estate overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and offers a remarkable panorama of the coast and the hinterland composed of garrigue and pine forests.
The climatic conditions are exceptional: both in terms of the duration of sunshine, the quantities of heat stored during the day by the limestone and released at night to the grapes, and the effect of the Mediterranean Sea which tempers summer temperatures.
Since the 2017 vintage, the estate has been certified AB ( organic wine ) and DEMETER ( Biodynamic farming) .

Best served at 17°C with grilled meats or aged cheeses.

Winemaking and ageing

Harvesting begins following regular ripeness checks, by tasting the berries as harvest approaches. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted both in the vineyard and upon arrival at the winery. Each grape variety is vinified separately: the Carignan and part of the Syrah are vinified using whole-bunch maceration, while the Mourvèdre and Grenache undergo traditional maceration. At the end of winter, the different grape varieties are blended and the majority of the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for ageing of around 12 months. The remaining wine is aged in vats to bring freshness to the final blend, which takes place just before bottling

Tasting note

The colour is a brilliant ruby. The nose, intense, is dominated by clear aromas of fruit (black cherries and blackcurrant), of flowers (violets) and soft spices. The palate, round, reveals silky, fine tannins underlining notes of liquorice, gingerbread and the concentrated fruit notes discovered on the nose. The finish, slightly saline, is characteristic of the wines of La Clape.

Storage
