Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut AOC 0,5 l - M. Chapoutier

This single varietal French wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of plum, morello cherry, wild berry jam and black cherry in the glass. These are joined by hints of cinnamon, vanilla and gingerbread spice.

The Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut can rightly be described as exceptionally fruit-driven and velvety, having been vinified with a wonderfully mellow flavor profile. Pressive and multi-layered, this dense Fortified Wine presents itself on the palate. Finally, the finish of this well-matured Banyuls from the Roussillon wine region, more specifically from Banyuls, impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by slate.

Vinification of the Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut by M. Chapoutier

The powerful Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut from France is a single varietal wine made from the Grenache grape variety. In Roussillon, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of schist. What is unusual about the origin of this top wine from M. Chapoutier is that the grapes grow on stone terraces in Banyuls (FR). However, this traditional way of vineyard cultivation is very costly and time-consuming and therefore rarely found anymore. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines.

Food recommendation for the Banyuls Rouge Bila-Haut from M. Chapoutier
