Vintage Notes
Exceptional vintage: smoothness, maturity, volume on the palate, fluidity in a hyper-concentration. La Ferme du Mont have centred on the keeping of it burgundy spirit in the winemaking to restitute in the final the airy touch needed by this historic vintage to delight the connoisseurs.
Winemaking
After a light pressing, the grapes undergo a long fermentation of 5-6 weeks, with soft extractions, at a maximum temperature of 25 C. In order to allow the full expression of a terroir both maritime and continental which is associated with the rounded stones found in this region, our Côtes du Rhône Villages is matured in traditional concrete tubs, out of contact with the air, for at least 8 months. This purist approach allows the tertiary aromas unique to this region to develop fully. 1/3 is aged in 225L and 500L barrels for complexity purpose.
Tasting Notes
Deep red in color, our Cotes du Rhone displays aromas of very ripe fruit, black cherries, flowers (violets) and liquorice. When aerated, notes of laurel and pepper complete the palette of aromas. The palate is defined by the sweetness of the fruit, and the softness of the tannins, with a freshness which brings finesse and elegance.
