M. Chapoutier Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Rouge 2020.
This wine is dominant of graphitic, leather notes with intense aromas of pepper & black fruits. It is rich and dense on the palate with delicate tannins and a great freshness.
VINEYARDS: The vineyard is located on Gneiss and schistose soils from the Devonian Period and limestone from Kimmeridgian Period.
VINTAGE: The very mild winter was accompanied by heavy rainfall (+300mm accumulated in January). Great water reserves built up in the soil, a welcome store in preparation for the region's scorching summers. Then came a relatively cool start to spring, delaying budburst. About ten days later than a normal vintage.
WINEMAKING: 100% destemmed. Extraction is only carried out by punching of the cap during a long maceration (at least four weeks).
- ENJOY WITH
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Pizza/Pasta
- Casseroles/Stews
