Château Jouclary - Les Amandiers | Cabardès AOP
Red wine | France, LANGUEDOC | 2020
Deep garnet color. On the nose, an aromatic duality between the spicy series of gray pepper and fruity, mirabelle plum, redcurrant. Softness and elegance on the palate, the tannins are caressing. The persistence evolves on dark chocolate, red plum, caramel, roasted almonds. Immediate pleasure, a wine to drink or keep.

About Ch. Jouclary
The vineyards are located in the promontory of the Montagne Noire, with a view of the historic city of Carcassonne. The family domain comprises 60 hectares of vineyard, half of which are AOP Cabardès, with a rich clay and lime soil, which ensures concentrated wines. The other half belongs to the IGP Oc appellation and produces fresh wines. They mainly own cement cuves, for fermenting the grape juice. This space is half underground and is adjusted annually to more modern techniques.
