Chateau la Negly La Cote La Clape Languedoc 2021

Description

The red wines of Chateau de La Negly are made up of a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan. The location of the Chateau in the Clape area, facing the sea, benefits from optimal sunlight with more than 3000 hours of sun per year. The cool nights help the vines to compete against the harsh summer heat. It's strong Mediterranean identity is expressed through the grape varieties, the Syrah has aromas of blackberry and red fruit, the Grenache is opulent and with a lasting aftertaste, the Carignan has aromas of blackcurrant and the Mourvedre has a peppery taste which is lasting and complex. La Cote is matured 70% in wooden vats and 30% in concrete cuves with micro-oxygenation. Dark ruby red in colour, this is an opulent, smooth, well-balanced wine with notes of cassis, violet, liquorice and black pepper. Fantastic with steak.
