Description
Owned by Louis Fabre, this excellent and picturesque estate sits near Beziers, in the southern Languedoc. Surrounded by olive trees, it benefits from the warm and sunny Mediterranean climate along with diverse soils allowing from production of mineral white, elegant rosé and concentrated reds. With a mixture of clay, limestone and marl, this estate has a rare soil from dried up marsh dating back to the middle ages, ensuring freshness and concentration in these grapes. They use the diverse soils to make a range of styles and grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot but also to adapt to an ever changing climate, plantings of Alicante Bouschet and Alvarinho. Recent investment, cold fermentation and good vinification produce aromatic wines with remarkable finesse.
Tasting notes
Produced from organic fruit grown at the small estate, Grande Courtade (meaning `large sunny courtyard`) near Beziers in the Languedoc, this is a delicate salmon pink rosé made by the `saignée` method of bleeding the fermenting juice from the skins, to preserve the fruit flavours and aromas. It is dry with a perfumed bouquet of wild strawberry and cranberry on the palate and a refreshing and crisp acidity.
Food match
Mediterranean style tapas and paella but also soft cheese like goats cheese.
