Maison Bouachon
A barrel-maker born in Châteauneuf-du-Pape will eventually think of filling his barrels.” It came to no surprise when the Bouachon family barrel-makers who had already been selecting grapes to produce wine for others decided to fill their own barrels in 1898. Maison Bouachon the winery was born.
Description
Visual: Intense ruby red colour with scintillating highlights. Nose: Aromas of black fruit (black cherry, fresh blackcurrant) mingle with notes of thyme and rosemary. Palate: Starts off smooth and full, revealing fine tannins whose texture evokes the sensation of holding a piece of silk between the fingers. The tasting experience continues with flavours of plump black berries combined with herbal notes reminiscent of the garrigue landscape. Fresh on the finish.
Food Pairing
Serve at room temperature with food. The ideal match for Provencal stewed beef or slow-roasted lamb shanks. At the end of the meal, this wine would be perfect with aged cheeses such as an 18-month-old Comté or Gruyère.
