2019 Domaine Grand-Chemin JMF - Pays d'Oc Cabernet Sauvignon et Pinot Noir 0.75 Ltr. Rouge
picture of

Cabernet and Pinot Noir in a rare but enviable and balanced interplay. Shiny, garnet red color with cherry red hues. More than a harmonious assemblage of these 2 quite diverse personalities. Cabernet first manifests itself with notes of berries, cassis and pepper with Pinot Noir taking advantage of its graceful and slightly smoky character to round out Cabernet's more direct character and provide complexity. A hint of cocoa colors the aftertaste. All in all, a sturdy boy, but without showcasing!

Every fine piece of game likes to pair with this wine, but also delicious with duck breast confit, young pigeon and other tasty but delicate meats.

climate

The Cévennes have a Mediterranean climate (warm, dry summers and mild winters) that is strongly influenced in the intermediate seasons by cooling winds from the north and by rains and coolness coming from the Pyrenees. There can sometimes be a lot of precipitation in a short time. These temperature fluctuations (also during the night) guarantee a longer and better ripening of the grapes.

soil

The massif of the Cevennes is one of the last foothills of the Massif Central and is mainly dominated by calcareous soils with clay and boulders.

vinification

Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and Pinot Noir (10%) are picked and pressed separately and fermented in separate concrete vats at a temperature of 26-30°C. After fermentation, the blend is made and it is matured for another 6 months in barriques, after which it is bottled.
