Caramany Les Crus AOP - Calmel & Joseph

Caramany Les Crus AOP - Calmel & JosephThe barrel-aged Caramany Les Crus from the Languedoc wine-growing region presents a bright purple color in the glass. Tilting the glass slightly, a transition of color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. This French cuvée presents wonderfully expressive notes of plums, black cherries and morello cherries in the glass. These are joined by hints of vanilla, gingerbread spice and oriental spices. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1 gram of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the high quality wine range, this Frenchman naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. Due to its present fruit acidity, the Caramany Les Crus reveals itself exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of the Languedoc, more precisely from Cotes du Roussillon, finally convinces with a beautiful reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the soils dominated by sandstone.
