Wine description
Landscape shaped by dry stone walls Le Chemin en Latin Facing the bell tower of La Livinière, on a mosaic of terroirs. A perfect alliance of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan.
Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef
The colour is a beautiful deep garnet. On the nose, Le Viala is powerful, revealing notes of ripe fruit and violet. A very fine attack, smooth tannins, woody notes, fine balance, infinite length. On the palate, this cuvée is wonderfully indulgent! Le Viala has great ageing potential.
Winemaking and ageing
The harvest is triggered after very precise monitoring of ripeness and daily tasting of the berries. Picking is done by hand and the grapes are meticulously sorted upon arrival at the winery. The Carignan and a portion of the Syrah are vinified as whole bunches. The Grenache is destemmed and vinified using traditional maceration. After malolactic fermentation of the wines, the different grape varieties are blended and the wine is placed in French oak barrels for 12 months of ageing. We select the finest coopers in order to adapt the choice of wood origins and toast levels to each vintage. The wines are neither fined nor filtered before bottling. The bottles are then kept for 12 months before being released for sale.
