ISABEL FONQUERLE (LA LIVINIERE) Giocoso Red NV Minervois
Description
Viticulture
From the vine to the cellar, Isabel applies a philosophy of naturalness, respectful of the soil, the environment and the noble grapes of the terroir of La Livinière
Vinification
During all the phases of this transformation of the grapes into quality wines, Isabel ensures that the general philosophy of the domain is respected : the hand and brain of man are there to express and sublimate the work of nature.
Wine aging
Grenache, a variety of great southern wines, remains in cement vats for 18 months to preserve its natural qualities. Syrah and Carignan are aged for 12 months in three and four year old barrels.
Vintage details
2015 was a fantastic vintage
Tasting notes
Ruby color with garnet notes and hints of cherry. Airing confirms the evolving nose with notes of aging, cocoa bean, sweet spices, a hint of tapenade and thyme. The mouth follows the nose, with an ample, tender, full, fleshy and juicy attack. Even though there is power, the velvety side of the texture remains harmonious and persistent
