Description
The Chene Bleu Abelard 2013 is a refined and powerful wine, showcasing the best of organic and biodynamic viticulture. This blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah was aged for 18 months in French oak, resulting in a deep, brilliant garnet color. The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and liquorice, intertwined with hints of fine spices.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with smooth tannins supporting rich flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and mocha. The finish is long and aromatic, with lingering notes of spice and plum, highlighting the wine’s exceptional depth. A true testament to the potential of Ventoux wines, the Chene Bleu Abelard pairs beautifully with rich meats like roast beef, venison, or duck.
