Domaine Jones Fitou Vieilles Vignes AOP, 2018

Spicy forest fruits, redcurrants with a hint of green leaf make up the bouquet of the old vine Fitou. On the palate, a great tension exists between ripe fruit and savoury rosemary and liquorice notes with lots of forest fruits, bitter cherries and blackberries. A wine with great depth and potential for cellaring. Domaine Jones has 20 small vineyard parcels around the village of Tuchan; each was picked by hand and vinified separately. The fermentation was adapted to each variety and vineyards with grapes macerated from 10 days up to five weeks. The final assemblage is 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache and 30% Syrah with 30% aged with oak.
