Duras
Description
The vines at Château d'ESCABES are all classified in the GAILLAC Appellation area. They are planted in a single block on different slopes surrounding the Château. The location of this vineyard, at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and Oceanic influences, between the Autan wind and the West wind, on Boulbènes soils (silt-clay-limestone) gives a remarkable freshness to the wines produced.
No pesticides or insecticides are used throughout the vine-growing cycle, and no herbicides are used when working the soil. This ethical choice has earned us the Agriculture Biologique (AB) label in 2021
100% DURAS grape variety. This is the local grape variety par excellence for the GAILLAC appellation. It is an early ripening grape variety and likes soils that tend to be chalky and sandy. Often associated with its partner Braucol, we wanted to put it alone, in the limelight it deserves.
The destemmed harvest is fermented in concrete vats for 15 to 20 days, with strict temperature control to preserve the wine's typical fruity aromas and thirst-quenching qualities.
With its violet colour, this wine has a frank and intense aroma of small fruits such as redcurrants and cherries, accompanied by light notes of pepper. The remarkable freshness of this wine, combined with its elegant structure, makes it a great accompaniment to moments of relaxation and sharing. Best served between 17° and 18°, it goes just as well with aperitif dinners as it does with Veloutés, Bouchées à la reine or even Salmon en papillotes.
