The Cassagnes de la Nerthe

  Rhône Valley - Côtes du Rhône-Villages AOP

Vineyard
This Côtes du Rhône Villages comes from the oldest vines of Domaine de la Renjarde, on average 40 years old. The estate faces south, arranged on three terraces anchored in the Mediterranean forest. The 51 hectare vineyard has been certified organic since the 2013 harvest.

Winemaking
Mostly hand harvested, at just ripeness and with sorting of the grapes on the table. Co-fermentation of the 3 grape varieties in vats for a long maceration of around 3 weeks. Extraction is done using gentle methods in order to respect the brightness of the fruit and tannic quality. Aging lasts 9 months in stainless steel vats, on fine lees.

Tasting
This deep red colored cuvée has an intense nose marked by aromas of red fruits and fragrant accents of garrigue and sweet spices. On the palate, it offers a silky texture and well-blended tannins. Its finish remains delicate and balanced, full of deliciousness.
