Domaine Boucabeille Les Orris Rouge 2015
The wines of the Boucabeille estate are produced mainly on the Forca real hill 15 km northwest of Perpignan. It promotes biodiversity around the vine by planting forest and scrubland but also creates ponds and places dozens of beehives. The Forca real hill is made up of slate schists that date back 450 million years.
The schist allows the vine to penetrate deep in order to find all the elements it needs (water and minerals). The altitude of the vines (505 meters) brings freshness. This terroir also brings roundness and length in the mouth, as well as a lot of finesse and complex aromas.
Les Orris, an evocative name, evoking the old stone shelters of the shepherds, this vintage sold in red and white, aims to be the standard-bearer of the estate.
With a beautiful deep garnet colour with ruby highlights. The pleasant and rich nose shows a certain aromatic complexity by harmoniously blending aromas of small jammy black fruits: blackcurrant, blueberries and cherries in brandy and delicate empyreumatic aromas reminiscent of toasted bread topped with caramel.
The palate is graceful, the well-integrated tannins harmonize with a richness of material and a masterful freshness to finish on a pleasant finale where notes of liquorice and violet candy mingle.
