Château Coupe-Roses Cuvée Vignals Minervois 2019

VINEYARD
Site: The Syrah for this cuvée comes from the domaine’s vines in the highest section of the La Livinière cru near Minerve. The Grenache and Carignan come from the karst plateau on the other side of the mountain valley.

Elevation: 750 to 1,350 feet above sea level with most over 1.000 feet.

Soil: Syrah: magnesium clay uplands; Grenache: rocky uplands. Rich with Languedoc’s wild, herb-filled underbrush that can be captured in a glass.

Vines: Demeter certification for biodynamic farming, Ecocert certification for organic farming. Most of the vines are mature, sown with various grasses and legumes, and hand harvested.

Varieties: 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 10% old-vine Carignan.

CELLAR
Vinification & Aging:
Grapes are destemmed, ferments are spontaneous, and aging on the lees is done over winter in steel. No fining, minimal SO2 and a very light filtration.

Profile: Like all of Coupe Roses’ wines, Vignals is characterized by mountain freshness and lift. The nose is full of dark plum, soil, dried herbs and spice; the mouth is rich and meaty but quite focused. Great value.

Production: 600 cases.

Reviews

Wine Enthusiast – “Ruby in color, perfumed aromas of pomegranate, cantaloupe, cranberry and fresh red cherry open on the nose. Drying tannins line the palate behind the flavors suggested on the nose and add structural depth.” (90 Pts)
