Description
This Grenache (trait de lune n°9) from Château Castigno is a real UFO, never drunk in the Languedoc. The ruby color is very pale, the result of an ultra-gentle extraction, a cold infusion of stems, skins and juices for 12 days. The wine offers aromas of red berries, kirchee cherry, some spices, all with an extreme finesse in tasting. A cuvée of unheard-of greediness which is not without recalling the cuvée Métisse by Maxime Magnon. Slightly refreshed as an aperitif with a few mezze: you are not safe from having a great time.
