Domaine de la Guicharde Cotes du Rhone Cuvee Genest 2016

On this old soil of calcareous sandstone, of red sandstone, where the mother rock sometimes rises, the vine hardly to blossom. It therefore produces sparingly, never more than 30 hl / ha) but the fruits that it sometimes agrees to give us are particularly valuable. Old Syrah of about fifty years and Grenache aging but still lively will compose the cuvée Genest. 

After a manual harvest, the vatting will last about 3 weeks. Vinification is classic, one touches the matter but without the malmener. The wine will begin its slow maturation and it is only 18 months after harvest that we will bottle it. Patience is an essential quality in the vintner. This waiting allows the tannins of this cuvée to slowly melt, to round up. C ' is a very beautiful wine that we propose here. It accompanies game birds, meats in sauce and also a chocolate dessert and pralines when served after a few years
