Domaine Boucabeille Les Orris Rouge 2017

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.

Ruby of a beautiful intensity, the 2017 vintage “Les Orris” red offers a dense and complex nose. After aeration, aromas of vanilla, violet, liquorice and candied red fruits are in the spotlight. The palate is voluminous and elegant where the tannins are present on a fruity finish. A wine as structured as it is elegant with a very beautiful fruit. Ideal companion for spending a good time of victuals.
