St. Sauveur - Abbaye De Lérins

On the palate, St. Sauveur from Abbaye De Lérins opens wonderfully dry, firm and aromatic. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety, dense and powerful. On the finish, this red wine from the Provence wine-growing region delights with a beautiful length. Again, there are hints of plum and sour cherry. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of St. Sauveur from Abbaye De Lérins

This balanced red wine from France is vinified from the Syrah grape variety. In Provence, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. After hand-picking, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels follows at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, St. Sauveur can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 12 months.
