Chateau Couronneau Maceration Bordeaux
£23.00
Taste
Fruity richness that packs a punch, Full-bodied
Aroma
Blueberries and blackcurrants, plums and cloves.
Description
An an extraordinary ‘claret’ with big character and a wonderfully pure expression of Merlot fruit from meticulous work in both vineyard and cellar over the years. For the 2020 vintage they decided to vinify and age selected hand-harvested grapes in clay amphorae pots. Fermented only with native yeasts, and carbonically macerated for 12 days, the 15 months ‘breeding’ in amphorae has elevated this wine into something special, which is now drinking superbly well. We really recommend letting this wine breath in the glass, or preferably decanting an hour or so before drinking. Rich, deep and heady on the nose, its potent black fruit flavours are rich and smooth, with rounded tannins helped by the amphorae. At 15% it is powerful, yet balanced with notes of prune, fig, damson, liquorice and soft spice (drink now or keep for up to 5 years).
