Les Jamelles - Cabernet Sauvignon | French Red Wine

TERROIR:
The grapes come from four meticulously selected terroirs: the environs of Narbonne to lend richness and opulence to the wine; the Aude River plain for length and structure; those from the slopes of the Orb Valley contribute velvety tannins, richness and complexity; and finally, the western Aude department, under whose oceanic influence freshness dominates. Subtle blending allows the cuvées from these four terroirs to yield an elegant, complex wine with pleasing velvetiness and lovely length on the palate.

VINIFICATION:
The grapes are completely destemmed. Maceration, under monitored temperatures, is long and includes several pump-overs. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in tanks for approximately 6 months. A small portion of the cuvée is aged in oak barrels.
