Chene Bleu Abelard 2017

14.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Abélard is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah and is a sumptuous wine, full of velvety texture. This is a beautifuly perfumed wine, with notes of wild strawberries and dark fruit. The palate is awash wish intense black cherries, hints of mocha and sweet spice. While definitely full bodies, there is a wonderful interplay of density of fruit and freshness. This wine gives you all the power you want from a southern Rhone wine, but there a lovely core of coolling acidity that makes you go back for more and more.

The Grenache wines are over40 years old, from north-west facing vineyards at 530 m. The Syrah, is from 30 years old, south-west facing at 540 m. The soil is a mixture of argilo-calcaire (clay and limestone), and is very stony. After fermantation, the wine spends 18 months in French oak Tonneaux. No synthetic treatments are used, and biodynamic principles ensure health of vine and soil.
