The composition of the Grenache (65%) and Syrah (10%) grape varieties, which provide juice, fruit and immediacy, harmonizes nicely with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which provide concentration and backbone. The three grape varieties are vinified separately. They go through a short skin maceration to achieve the delicate rosé color and an optimal fruit and aroma extract. The grapes are then pressed and the must is fermented coolly (15-18°C) in steel tanks. After the fermentation, the three different wines are combined and the wine is allowed to lie on its “bed” for approx. 3 months on the same tanks.
The wine has a beautiful, brilliant, healthy, reddish colour, and already in the aroma you find charming shades of red berries such as raspberries, strawberries and a delicate aroma of peaches. The taste is light and harmonious, with a good balance between fruity sweetness and freshness and lovely, fresh, exotic spices in the aftertaste.
The wine will go well with e.g. fish soup, seafood, sushi, grilled fish, poultry or with southern stews made with vegetables or meat with white sauce. Try it with a Provencal ratatouille. It is as if born for a small glass in the morning, for the forest trip or for a cold buffet.
Domaine Montrose in the southern French Languedoc region, Côtes-de-Thongue, is situated on top of a slope (“mont” in French) above the village of Valros (“valley of the roses”), which thus explains its beautiful name. Biodiversity is not an empty word here, as both the property and the approx. 85 ha. vineyards are surrounded by small forests, thickets and almond trees, which ensure a “terroir” that also helps to give the wines their distinguished structure and complexity.
Bernard Coste and his son Olivier cultivate their vineyards according to the regulations of “Agriculture Raisonnée” (integrated agriculture). All fertilizer is thus organic from e.g. own compost, where part of the grape pomace from the pressing is integrated. When necessary, weeds are removed mechanically and not with chemical products, and only environmentally friendly pesticides are used in case of disease attacks.
The wines from Domaine Montrose are stylistically related to the slightly more refined wines from Provence, and are thus excellent alternatives, as they also have a very attractive ratio between price and quality.
