CHÂTEAU CAPITOUL - Maëlma Red

AOP La Clape

Château Capitoul, with its precious stone and pebble-strewn Mediterranean vineyard, is like a diamond in the rough set in the rolling hills of La Clape. With 62 ha under vine at the tip of the La Clape hill range, its terroir is the appellation‘s most maritime. Its vineyard dates back to the 14th century, when it was farmed under the aegis of Narbonne Cathedral, which gave the Château its name. In 2015, La Clape entered the select group of Languedoc fine wines, joining the collection of prestigious, internationally renowned French appellations.

Winemaking

Yields are deliberately low, around 25 hl/ha, in order to obtain maximum concentration and complexity. The harvest is the subject of all the care, with double sorting, before and after destemming, 50% vinified in full vinification in barrels for 1 month and a half and then aged in new barrels and barrels of a wine for 12 to 18 months.

Food & Wine Pairings

Dense color, a pretty dark burgundy. Powerful and elegant nose at the same time, of a rare complexity. On the basis of a very beautiful structure with silky tannins, this wine is a composition of aromas as varied as black cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant with very delicate smoky notes. Goes perfectly with a deer pâté, wild boar in sauce, red beans with Creole, Roquefort, Brie with truffles.
