Vinification of Les Grands Chais de France Côtes du Rhône red wine

The Les Grands Chais de France Côtes du Rhône red wine comes from the renowned Rhône wine region in France. There, the warm, sunny climate provides optimal ripening conditions for the grapes, especially the Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah varieties, all known for their fullness and aromatic depth. The partly stony soils as well as the cool nights enhance the freshness and concentration of the aromas.

The grapes are harvested predominantly by hand in order to collect the berries carefully and intact. The cuvée of grape varieties is then fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve the intense fruit aromas and fine herbal notes. During maceration, the gentle extraction of coloring agents and tannins promotes the characteristic hue and structure of the wine. Maturation takes place mostly in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity, partially supplemented by aging in wooden barrels, which lend the wine a subtle woody undertone and increase its complexity.

The alcohol content of 13.5 percent by volume supports the full-bodied yet balanced taste, which appears both full and lively. Sulfites and sulfur dioxide are used in regulated quantities to guarantee quality and shelf life without limiting the natural freshness. The result is an incomparable wine that convincingly reflects its origin and the art of the winemakers.
