A delicious red blend wine made from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Merlot. These high-quality grapes thrive in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. They complement each other beautifully in this Reserve Red from Maison La Chenais. The Grenache grapes provide the necessary power, the Syrah adds a peppery note, and the Merlot and Cinsault give this blend its fruity notes. It's a distinctive red wine that we don't often encounter.

The vinification process of Maison La Chenais Reserve Red

The Vic family runs Maison La Chenais, located between Béziers and Agde. The climate is Mediterranean, with abundant sunshine and low rainfall. The nearby sea provides just the right amount of coolness, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly and evenly. Furthermore, the volcanic terroir creates nutrient-rich soil with unique properties. Maison la Chenais means "house of the oak," a reference to the large oak tree that dominates the area. It symbolizes longevity, which is also reflected in the wines of Maison La Chenais. The Vic family grows their grapes here and produces flavorful wines that beautifully express the unique terroir. The grapes are carefully harvested by machine at peak ripeness. At the winery, a rigorous selection process follows, after which the grapes are destemmed. Afterward, the grapes are gently crushed to release the juice. Fermentation then begins naturally. After approximately eight hours of skin contact, the juice is separated from the skins. This process is closely monitored. The wine is not aged in oak, which gives it a distinctive character while maintaining a fruity and robust profile.

What does Maison La Chenais Reserve Red taste like?

The red wine is full-bodied with powerful notes and a long finish. This wine pairs well with meat dishes, chicken, various pasta dishes, or an appetizer platter.
