Château Rasque Pièce Noble côtes de Provence 2019 0.75 l

VARIETIES AND TERROIRVARES

60 % Syrah and 40 % Grenache (rootstock R110). A very stony clay-limestone soil. West-south-east exposure with an altitude of 200 to 230 m.

VINIFICATIONAfter

having harvested by hand all our grapes, our harvest is led thanks to a conveyor belt towards the destemmer; from then on these grapes begin their fermentation in our enamelled steel tanks. The 15 to 20 days vatting time is carried out under temperature control; each part is vinified separately before maturing in tuns. This wine, aged for 8 months in a steel vat, will age for about 10 months in an oak barrel before being blended. This wine is kept for 12 months in bottle before being marketed.

TASTINGOur

Pièce Noble composed of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache has a garnet color with nice bright reflections. Luminous color, rich nose quite intense. The complexity of its nose mixes aromas of jammy black fruits, notes of undergrowth, black truffles and cocoa connotations. Suave, round, greedy mouthfeel. A perfect balance of present but silky tannins. It coats the palate well. Long and fruity finish. This wine is typical of the terroir of Rasque

.

Serve between 14/15°. Ideal with wood-fired grilled meats, apples in ash, a forest pan, game in sauce (stew or civet), black truffle brouillade. Charolais beef rib, creamy polenta with black truffle chips. Oven-roasted duck with small candied turnips and mashed potatoes and chestnuts.
