Chateau de Fontenelles Renaissance

With its intense garnet robe, the Renaissance vintage impresses with its expressive nose, combining cooked and dark fruit with discreetly balsamic notes for a subtly wooded wine. A flawless structure for expert assembly confirmed by an elegant mouth, concentrated and harmonious, based on bright and velvety tannins. Vinified in vats partly in whole grains (carbonic maceration) and partly by successive layers of Syrah and Grenache. The Renaissance vintage matures for 12 months in French oak. The lively tannins of this vintage deliciously accompany barbecued or even beef tartar. Its aromatic concentration will also marvel as an accompaniment to duck or roast pigeon. Syrah 55%, Grenache noir 25 %, Vieilles vignes Carignan Mourvèdre 20% Serve carafed at room temperature. Laying down: 5 to 10 years
