CHÂTEAU CAPITOUL - Oros Cayenne white

AOP La Clape

2018

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. The fermentation begins in vats and then continues in barrels for white Grenache and Marsanne to extract the golden color specific to Oros Cayenne.

Pellicular maceration with daily batonnage for 6 weeks. Ageing for 10 to 12 months depending on the vintage.

Food & Wine Pairings

A solar wine, golden, showing a great aromatic complexity underlined by discreet and elegant woody notes mixed with toasted aromas, buttered and acacia honey. Pretty iodine finish, typical of the marsanne.

Goes perfectly with seafood, creamy cheeses such as Mont d'Or, Livarot and bleu, or dishes served with an American sauce.
