CHÂTEAU CAPITOUL - Rive rosé

PDO Languedoc

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. Special selection of cinsault, syrah and grenache. Vinified in stainless steel vats after bleeding, then aged for 18 months in barrels of two or three wines used for whites.

Food & Wine Pairings

Pale pink color with perfect clarity with orange shades. This gourmet rosé reveals a complex nose of ice peach associated with hints of cherry and English sweets. In the mouth, it is corpulent and generous with a fine weft of acidity and a saline side that appears on a long finish. A wine of great finesse and elegance.

To be enjoyed as an aperitif, with tapas, crunchy shrimp crown, grilled sea bream, vegetable tagine, strawberry panna cotta.
