✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled within the rugged, wind-swept cliffs of the La Clape appellation in Languedoc, the L'Hospitalitas parcel of Château de l'Hospitalet holds a rich history. Once a sanctuary and hospice for medieval pilgrims journeying along the Mediterranean coast, the estate under Gérard Bertrand has become a beacon of biodynamic viticulture. This exceptional red cuvée is crafted primarily from Syrah and Mourvèdre grown on south-facing limestone terraces overlooking the sea. The vines benefit from intense Mediterranean sunshine tempered by cooling marine breezes, imparting a unique saline freshness to the wine's intense concentration. Traditionally vinified and aged in French oak barrels, it offers a profound expression of the Languedoc terroir, characterized by dark bramble fruits, black pepper, and the wild, herbal perfume of the surrounding garrigue.
