CHÂTEAU CAPITOUL - Oros Les Portes 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

Harvested at night, with double sorting, in the vineyard and in the cellar. Made from Syrah, Grenache and old Carignan. The low yields (35 hl/ha) maximize the concentration. Prolonged film maceration with temperature control. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. After bottling, the wine is kept for at least one year in the cellar.

Food & Wine Pairings

With its sustained cherry red color, Les Portes is a powerful and elegant wine with aromas of black fruits such as blackcurrant, tapenade, flint raised by a hint of juniper that borders this plot. Corpulent and focused, he has a long finish.

Goes well with marbled meat, oven-roasted Camembert.
