Rhone Paradox Rouge

Syrah (50%), Grenache (15%), Mourvèdre (20%), Carignan (15%).

Selection of 5 to 20-year old vineyard blocks, on soils containing Villafranchian pebbles with very good filtration properties.

15 to 20 days of fermentation on the skins after destemming and crushing
Fermentation at a controlled temperature (28°C)
Maturation in tanks and barrels (15%) that have been used for wines from the Great classified growths (Smith-Haut-Lafitte, Lafite-Rothschild, Pape Clément) for a period of 9 months.

Intense garnet colour. The nose reveals red fruits (raspberry, redcurrants) combined with subtle hints of eucalyptus and bouquet garni. Aromas of very ripe fruit, leather and bouquet garni. The palate is sensual and is distinguished by a good balance of freshness. The aromas of very ripe fruit, leather and bouquet garni indicate full ripeness of the grapes resulting. With its subtle tannins the Mas Neuf Rhone Paradox can be tasted now or could be laid down in the cellar for 2 to 5 years.

Roast white meats, large cuts of beef, delicatessen.
