Château Canet Les Evangiles AOP Minervois Cuvee Syrah
A rich, concentrated and full-bodied wine. The Syrah vines that produce Les Evangiles are located on the highest point of the estate on deep soils of clay and limestone. The 2018 is youthful with aromas of fresh apples, cooked blackcurrants with vanilla and notes of crumble. Maturation in Burgundian oak barrels, with 30% new, has conferred woody flavours with cloves and nutmeg that complement blackberry flavours. It is concentrated with a grainy texture and will benefit from some cellaring before optimum drinking.
Chateau Canet La Chapelle AOP Minervois Cuvee Grenache
Within Château Canet’s grounds are the remnants of a 12th century chapel, and this is where the estate’s oldest vineyard lies with Grenache vines planted over 70 years ago. The vines are gnarled and twisted, yielding fewer and fewer grapes each year, though producing vibrant wines that are elegant with great depth. The 2017 has a raisined fruit aroma with figs, some treacle and fresh wet earth. Fresh red fruit flavours sing on the palate with a vibrant juicy acidity and flavours of redcurrants and cranberries. It has a soft, grainy texture with lingering flavours of incense and fruit. Grapes were harvested late on October 2, 2017 and underwent a cold maceration for ten days. It was fermented in traditional tanks with the cap pushed down by foot twice a day.
