Vin de France "La Création" 2018 | Raymond Usseglio

93/100 Parker
93/100 Dunnuck

Diese einzigartige Mischung ist aus dem Ausdruck alter Grenache-Reben aus zwei außergewöhnlichen Terroirs entstanden: 50% auf Sand von unseren Reben am rechten Ufer und 50% auf einer Parzelle mit Kieselsteinen am linken Ufer.
Die Trauben wurden für mehr Komplexität mitvergoren und in Amphoren aufgezogen, um die Finesse dieser außergewöhnlichen Grenache-Trauben zu erhalten.
Nur 3000 Flaschen produziert!

Robert Parker: Equal parts of old-vine Grenache from sandy soils (in Lirac) and stony soils (in Chateauneuf du Pape) were co-fermented to make the 2018 Vin de France le Creation. It's a full-bodied, concentrated effort, with bold black cherry fruit, an expansive mouthfeel, silky tannins and a lengthy, faintly herb and licorice-tinged finish. Despite its size, it never seems overdone, retaining a sense of freshness and balance. 93/100

Jeb Dunnuck: Made from 100% Grenache (equal parts from Lirac and from Châteauneuf du Pape), the 2018 Vin De France La Creation reveals a more ruby/translucent color as well a beautiful perfume of ripe black cherries, violets, cured meats, spice, and Provençal garrigue. Playing in the more medium-bodied end of the spectrum, it has a seamless, elegant texture, no hard edges, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is one hell of a Vin de France. Enjoy this elegant, beautifully balanced 2018 anytime over the coming 5-7 years. 93/100
