Château de L'Ou rouge 2020 - Côtes du Roussillon (organic)
* No shipping, please collect in one of our shops *
A blend of Syrah and Grenache Noir aged in stainless steel tanks. A fruity wine with a nose of small red fruits, and on the palate notes of blackberries, a peppery touch and aromas of violets. A delightful wine.
"L'Ou" in Catalan means "egg" in French: it is the name of the place where the property is located and where there was a resurgence of water in an ovoid shape. In 1998, Philippe Bourrier, agronomist, and his wife Séverine, oenologist, bought this 30-hectare estate, planted with 26 hectares of vines and 4 hectares of olive trees, in the commune of Montescot in the Pyrénées-Orientales, 10 km south of Perpignan. The entire property was immediately converted to organic farming.
In 2009, Séverine and Philippe decided to expand the terroirs of the estate with 8 hectares of vines in Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet and 7 hectares of vines in Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes, conducted in Organic Agriculture, in the Upper Valley of the Agly. In 2017, 7 hectares in Maury completed the set.
