Constance AOP - Domaine Berthoumieu

Constance AOP - Domaine BerthoumieuThe powerful Constance from the pen of Domaine Berthoumieu shimmers with dense purple in the glass. The first nose of the Constance tells of mulberries, blueberries and black currants. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging such as cinnamon, oriental spices and dark chocolate. Domaine Berthoumieu Constance impresses with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 0.6 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Frenchman enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar. This dense red wine presents itself full-bodied and complex on the palate. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Constance flatters with velvety palate feeling, without at the same time lacking juicy liveliness. In the finish, this youthful red wine from the Sud-Ouest wine-growing region finally inspires with beautiful length. Again, hints of blackberry and mulberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by gravel and limestone are added. Vinification of the Domaine Berthoumieu Constance The basis for the powerful Constance from Sud-Ouest are grapes from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinenc and Tannat. In Sud Ouest, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone and gravel. Due to the moderating influence of the nearby sea, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic partiality. After the manual harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in concrete and small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels. The aging in wooden barrels is followed by a long aging in bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex. Food recommendation for the Constance from Domaine Berthoumieu Enjoy this red wine from France best tempered at 15 - 18°C as an accompanying wine to duck breast with sugar snap peas, stuffed peppers or braised chicken in red wine.
