Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles - Les Célis 2022
Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles is located in Montpeyroux, in the Languedoc region . The estate was founded in 2015 by two friends: Matthieu Rollin and Nicolas Seffusatti . The 7-hectare vineyard is divided into several plots, reflecting the diversity of the Mediterranean terroirs between Languedoc and Roussillon. The duo favors organic compost, controlled grassing, low yields and manual work. They practice biodynamics on plots replanted in mass selections. The harvest is late to push ripeness and the small stainless steel vats isolate the juices from each plot. The cellar is built from Fontvieille stone blocks for its thermal inertia. The aging is long, mainly in barrels from the Chassin house (which supplies the largest Burgundy estates such as Coche-Dury and Romanée-Conti). The wines are aged for 12 to 36 months or more, then refined in concrete eggs.
Les Célis is made from Grenache from the plot of the same name. The vinification is carried out with 30% whole bunches delicately infused then the wine is aged for 8 months in Chassin barrels .
Grape variety: 100% Grenache
"Les Célis 2022 offers a delicious nose of red fruits and spices, a round and supple palate with fine tannins, perfect with grilled meats and Mediterranean cuisine."
