Château de L’Ou Grenache Rhapsody 2017
Bought in 1998, this is a family run estate created by the incredibly talented and passionate Séverine and Philippe Bourrier, and lies just to the south of Perpignan, in the plains region of the Roussillon. It consists of three separate terroirs, all farmed organically. The vineyard terroir for Chateau de L’Ou Blanc Cotes Du Roussillon consists of alluvial marls of the Roussillon plain. The name of the estate comes from the Catalan word l’Ou, meaning egg, because of the egg-shaped well on the property.
Dubbed “A Rising Star in the Roussillon” by Jeb Dunnuck, their wines are exceptional.
Grenache Rhapsody is one of the biggest, finest reds we have tasted in the Roussillon. This organic wine bursts with raspberry and black currant, tempered by a touch of balsam and green herbs, rosemary and thyme. The finish is delicate but persistent. A rich and balanced concentration with both complexity and subtle notes.
Pair this bold red with rib of beef, beef bourguignon and duck aiguillettes with pepper. Your holiday guests will thank you!

About The Product
The raspberry and the blackcurrant make an explosion in the nose. The powerful and rich mouth seduces by its complex aromas of Mediterranean aromas like garrigue, blackberries and thyme. Very fine tannins.
“Integral Vinification”: the grapes, from a grain-by-grain selection, are on the one hand placed in stoneware jars and also placed directly in 500-litre barrels (only one of the two bottoms is closed). Maceration lasts 5 weeks with manual punching down, then each barrel is emptied and pressed, the cooper coming to close the barrels at the estate. The wine finishes fermentation in these same barrels and in the jars. Aged for 9 months.
Grape Varietal: 100% Black Grenache
Awards: 96 Jeb Dunnuck
