Cotes du Roussillon Villages "Chimeres", Chateau Saint-Roch

Amplified aromas of squeezed black cherries, with just a touch of prune juice. It is vibrant, sumptuous, honest, and delicious, with a wealth of fruit character and hints of cured meat and rusty nails underneath. There is fresh acidity to balance all the concentration and ripeness, bringing about a well-proportioned whole.

Hand-harvested into small crates with a first selection as the bunches are cut, and then a second sorting of grapes at the cellar door. The fermentation is kept between 20-23°C to maximise the fruit expression and the wine is macerated for 4 weeks with both pumping over and pigeages. 60% of the wine is matured in newand one wine oak barrel during 6 months.
