Le Sang des Seigneurs
In the Middle Ages, Occitania (the southern half of present-day France) was ruled by several noble lords who shared political power. But Occitania was united by a common culture and language.
Each grape variety is harvested and vinified separately. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe and the fermentation is done under temperature control in stainless steel tanks for two weeks with daily pumping over. The juices are aged separately for 3 months before blending. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 12 months before bottling.
A very pleasant wine to enjoy in its youth with grilled meats or Mediterranean and Asian dishes, or fresh with a dark chocolate dessert.
