Coume del Mas Collioure Red Quadratur 2024
Price: 33,00€
DESCRIPTION
A blend of Grenache noir (50%), Mourvèdre (30%), and Carignan (20%) from hillsides and schist terraces, Quadratur is harvested and sorted twice before a three to five-week cold soak, followed by twelve months of aging in barrels.
The deep cherry color with violet highlights introduces a nose of black fruits, spices, tapenade, and leather. The palate is smooth and dense, of great complexity, carried by supple tannins and a velvety finish. A wine for aging, to be paired with game, beef, or roasted dishes.
REGION
Collioure
France
Between sea and mountain, the vines of Banyuls, an AOC since 1936, cling to schist slopes that plunge down to the Mediterranean. This spectacular setting, bathed in sun and wind, shapes generous, intense vins doux naturels. The appellation mainly produces reds from Grenache Noir, completed by Grenache Gris and Blanc, as well as amber, tawny and rosé versions.
Banyuls comes in several styles. Banyuls Rimage, made and aged away from air, shows all the freshness of the fruit, with aromas of cherry, blackberry or blackcurrant, sometimes with a touch of chocolate. Approachable young, it shines with dark chocolate, fruit desserts and some blue cheeses. By contrast, Banyuls Traditionnel and Grand Cru go through long oxidative ageing in cask or glass demijohn, developing complex notes of walnut, coffee, spice and rancio. The Grands Crus, from old vines and aged for at least 30 months, stand out for their depth and great ageing potential.
Recommended for you:
Dense and generous, with that wild touch from the Mourvèdre and Carignan that gives it character. A wine for game or fine cuts of beef; decant before serving.
