CHÂTEAU CAPITOUL - Oros Les Portes white

AOP La Clape

2019

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

Night harvest at optimal maturity, with double sorting, in the vineyard and in the cellar. The low yields (35 hl/ha) maximize the concentration. Film maceration and regular batonnage for 6 to 8 weeks. Fermentation at low temperature in vats and then in barrels. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months with the exception of the Bourboulenc grape variety.

Food & Wine Pairings

Beautiful golden color with slightly amber highlights. A wine with a complex bouquet of citrus fruits (lime) and exotic fruits (mango, passion fruit), enhanced by a hint of ginger.

The palate is ample, rich, with a lot of fat and a finish leaving an impression of freshness very pleasant.

To be enjoyed with oysters gratinées, knives à la plancha, fillets of mullet, American monkfish, white meat in sauce or creamy cheeses.
