Château de L'Ou - IGP Côtes Catalanes - Secret de schistes rouge 2020

ORGANIC

Key words: Powerful / Complex / Warm

Wine : Like his little sister Infiniment, Secret de Schistes is also a 100% Syrah cuvée aged entirely in barrels for over a year. The difference lies in the terroir: the vines here are indeed surrounded by scrubland and grown on mosaic schists in the Haute Vallée de l'Agly, at an altitude of 325m. The result is a powerful, complex and warm red wine, developing on notes of garrigue (thyme, rosemary), jam black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry), violet as well as an elegant melted woodiness bringing aromas of chocolate, vanilla and other spices (pepper, cloves etc.). A light touch of minerality is also present. A true velvet in the mouth, to be served at the table with red meats, poultry and game.

The estate: Covering 54 hectares in AOC Côtes du Roussillon, Maury and IGP Côtes Catalanes, the Château de L'Ou belongs to Séverine and Philippe Bourrier. The property has been certified organic since 1998 and the couple is at the head of different islands with varied terroirs: alluvial marls, black shales and mosaic shales make up the soils of the different plots thanks to which the vines produce high quality wines, generally from small yields.
