LE CLOS DE L’AZEROLLE AOC Minervois

Grape Varietal
100% Carignan

Wine making process
The vineyard, 60 years old in average, is located on chalky clay terraces.
The grapes are hand harvested and sorted, first in the vineyard, then in the cellar.
The crop arrives in whole clusters in the cellar and goes directly to concrete tanks.
A carbonic maceration follows. This winemaking method keeps the grapes intact and develops very intense, fruity aromas.
A 14 months ageing in tank produces this wonderful wine.
This cuvee is named after the Azerollier, a small red berries borne Mediterranean tree. Many of them border the parcel of Carignan.
