Winemaker Notes
Grown in the heart of Corbières on a mix of clay and limestone soils where a Roman villa once stood, the ancient vines of Château Croix d’Aumedes eke out equal parts concentration and juiciness. The Carignan undergoes carbonic maceration in order to preserve a stunning purity of fruit, anchoring the blend at 40%, while Syrah and Grenache amount to 30% each, adding spice, savory depth, and suppleness.
Wonderfully enticing with bright red berries, wild flowers, herbs de Provence and Rhone-like garrigue accents. The palate is fresh with red fruits galore and flecks of rocky minerals. Soft and silky on the tongue, with a fine core of tannins and a long seamless finish that’s bright with just enough acidity, keeping things really well balanced.
