Cuvée Saint Fructueux
AOC MINERVOIS
Syrah 100% (Selection) 95% , Grenache 5%
Our village of St Frichoux, was named after the Saint Fructueux, in the form of the local dialect.
At the time, the village was used as share cropping farm by the Abbey of Caunes,
and it was the monks who named it in memory of their close ties with the Spanish Bishop Fructueux,
who originated from Tarragona and was martyrized in 259.
This wine is named Saint Fructueux in dedication
to the deep integration of our winery, our family and our village.
After a strict selection of vineyards, we kept only the wines able to age in new oak.
Emulation between the wood barrel and the wine lasts for 12 months.
As a result the wine is enhanced by the wood.
Its structure, fruit and complexity are highly interwined, to give you a grand wine.
Vinification
The grapes are transfered from the vineyard to the vat
and yeast was added under temperature control.
Maceration lasts for 30 to 40 days,
and then the wine is aged in new oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting
Beautiful rich dark red colour.
Nose dominated by red fruits, vanilla, coconut, smoked and liquorice.
Taste well rounded, persistent, powerful and smooth,
Texture of a fine balance between tannins and fruits.
Lingering finish of blackcurrent and small cherries.
You may keep it for 8 years in a good cellar.
Serve at 16 to 17°C
with a spicy dish, with tasty red meat
and with strong cheeses.
Main award during 2008
Vintage 2005 Gold medal : one of the best syrah of the world
