Domaine de Cabrol 2007 Cuvee Vent d'Est 750ml

Location

The domaine is found about 20 kilometers north of Carcassonne with its famous medieval walled city. Follow the D118 in direction of Mazamet. The domain has produced just wine, for a very long time, even if the methods, vines and wines have changed. Of the 125 hectares of the domaine, 21 are vines, the rest being left to nature (heathland, forest). We are also planting more and more young olive trees to accompany the almond trees. It's not a diversification, the aim being aesthetic, reminding us that it is truly a mediterranean climate.

Landscape (terroir)

The soil is chalky and often very stony. Find yourself amongst thyme, lavander and a few green oaks standing out above the vegetation. Vines are the only plants that can be cultivated in this soil and climate. The roots push their way through the fossils of marine molluscs to search as deep as possible for the water needed to resist the summer droughts, whilst the leaves capture the sun's rays to turn the sap into the sugary juice stocked in each grape. Not forgetting the winds, east and west, almost always present. The altitude too, (up to 300 meters), which brings a night-time coolness contrasting with the day-time heat, together favouring the ripening, and bringing porth wines with expression and finesse.

Suggested Service

Drink at 16-18 ° C, open at least 1 hour before serving, decanting can only do him good. Accompany elaborate and complex dishes or hard cheeses.
