The Rouge comes from a single parcel of 120-year-old vines on marl terraces at 700 metres, biodynamically farmed with yields around 15 hectolitres per hectare. A mix of Carignan, Grey Carignan, and White Carignan all co-harvested together, short maceration with some whole bunches, 10 months in neutral 500-litre barrels, bottled without fining, filtration, or sulphur additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLight on its feet, serious in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e blueberry, stewed apple, wild herbs, subtle violet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e juicy, lifted, earthy depth from the old vines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e silky, light-bodied, with fine tannic grip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e fresh, long, and effortlessly drinkable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eServe lightly chilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/france\" title=\"French Wines\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/ Côtes de Roussillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/red\" title=\"Red Wines\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e Syrah, Grenache, Muscat Blanc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore More:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/red\" title=\"Red Wine\"\u003eRed\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/collections\/france\" title=\"France Wine\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: absolute; left: 45px; top: 58.5px;\" id=\"gtx-trans\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matassa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49207144841564,"sku":"CCENWR5723L","price":47.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/0336\/4287\/files\/Rouge2021.jpg?v=1725746464","url":"https:\/\/cheninchenin.com\/en-cy\/products\/matassa-rouge","provider":"Chenin Chenin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
