Chemin de Moscou comes from old vines of Syrah - 72%, Grenache - 22% and 6% Cinsault grown on the estate's terraced vineyards which have been cultivated since Roman times. 21 months in French oak : A third of the Syrah in ‘Burgundy’ new oak for 9 months.
Grenache and Cinsault in 500 litre ‘demi-muids’ and 2000 litre ‘foudres’ for 9 months. Blending of the best barrels of each variety followed by a further 12 months maturation of the final blend in the same barrels.
Deep purple, almost opaque in colour with an expressive nose of black fruits, pepper, cinnamon, spice and violets. A seductive palate of dark hedgerow fruits, very open and welcoming with an explosion of fruit and spice. Mineral undertones.
