Calmel & Joseph Classic Languedoc Red 2015

卡莫&喬森成立於1995年，是一間勃艮第式的釀造型酒商，以釀造及銷售法國南部的朗格多克-魯西榮法定產區葡萄酒產品為主。我們的合作夥伴是分佈在朗格多克-魯西榮產區的各家族式酒莊。酒莊創始人之一的勞倫•卡莫憑藉多年擔任釀酒顧問的經驗，逐步與產區內多個具有代表性的酒農及酒莊建立了長期的互信關係。
兩位公司創始人，勞倫•卡莫與傑洛•喬森對朗格多克-魯西榮產區發展潛力深信不疑。兩人共同的志願推動他們前行，一同釀製，混合與陳釀酒莊的全部葡萄酒款。這也是要向世界證明，在地中海特有的風土人文條件下，可以栽種並釀造出非常優質的葡萄酒；同時他們也渴望讓更多的人瞭解並認同朗格多克-魯西榮產區葡萄酒不為人知的品質與地位。除了堅持在這片風土上釀製出高品質的葡萄酒外，我們還期望憑藉自己對法國南部產區風土人文的理解，並通過自己多年的釀造經驗，陳釀出高品質的傳統風味葡萄酒。

Founded in 1995, Calmel & Joseph is a maison de négoce specializing in Languedoc-Roussillon wines from private wineries from across the region. Over the years, they have built close personal relationships with a large number of growers from all appellations. Convinced of the extraordinary potential of this region, oenologist, Laurent Calmel, and Jerome Joseph work together on the vinification, blending and ageing of wines with the common purpose of demonstrating the little known yet unique quality of these Mediterranean terroirs. As well as our desire to produce high quality wines consistent with their terroirs, we are committed to making wines which reflect our convictions and experience.

Country of Origin:
France

Vintage:
2015

Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)

Varieties:
Syrah 50% - Grenache 30% - Carignan 20%

Alcohol:
14% alc./vol

Terroir:
The diversity of Languedoc's terroirs allows us to choose the areas that give optimum expression of our indigenous grape varieties. Our Grenache Noir comes from splendid granite or schist soils in the north-west Roussillon, while our Syrah is in a site sheltered by the Black Mountains, where they give of their best. Our ancient Carignan vines are grown on red clay soil and bring a certain freshness to the blend.

Vinification:
The grapes are hand-picked, and 50% are partly crushed. Fermentation happens at 25°C to 28°C for 10 days, with two punch-downs per day. Twice-racked wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, to preserve the aromatic profile

Ageing:
Aged in concrete tanks for six months.

Tasting Note:
Garnet red in colour. A refined and spicy nose of great purity. Red berry fruit on the second nose with a little more blackcurrant than the previous vintage. In the mouth, notes of garrigue and small berry fruits dominate, underlined by soft, well integrated tannins that are round whilst remaining taut. A blend which is superbly harmonious, as always, for an elegant wine that is profoundly Mediterranean in style.

Food Pairing:
Barbecued meat, smoky meat
