Presentation

Our Rasteau L'Andéol is a delightful wine that will pair well with traditional hearty cuisine. You can age it for 6-7 years.

Ageing

90% in stainless steel, 10% in Foudres. Ageing for 6 months before bottling.

The vintage

2015 was a magnificent year in the south as well, characterized by excellent sanitary conditions thanks to the mild, wet winter, followed by a relatively hot, dry spring. The vines coped well with the extreme heat and lack of rain in the summer thanks to good hydric reserves. Following satisfactory flowering, rapid and regular ripening was assisted by rain that fell in August, producing berries rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. As in the north, harvesting took place under excellent conditions.

Tasting

This red Rasteau 2015 comes from the beautiful slopes and terraces of Rasteau. This wine seduces by its strong personality. 2015 is a blanced vintage, the wine already shows a big potential. Complex nose (blackberry and cherry notes), rich and elegant. The tannic texture is structured giving a long lasting vintage. Beautiful texture. Dense finish.
