[2018] ソミュール・ブラン VV　ドメーヌ・ラングロワ・シャトー

☆14.0％・750ml☆ （フランス・ロワール） ○シュナン・ブラン100%○ ○平均樹齢35年以上のブドウを使用。熟した果実やドライフルーツの深みのある香り。アタックは、フレッシュを感じ、豊潤な味わいです。（Yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose is marked by subtle wood ageing, with notes of caramelized pineapple. Honeyed and floral with powerful fruit, well-judged oak and a hint of coconut on the finish. If further aged the wine will develop a deep honey colour and character with the richness and spicy nutty flavours complementing the deep, candied fruit characters of an aged wine.）○ ☆The Langlois-Château Chenin vineyards are around St Florent. The grapes are hand harvested with several “tries” or passes through the vineyards, to ensure all fruit is of optimum ripeness. The fruit is gently pressed and fermented to dryness in 228l French oak Burgundy barrels (30% new barrels and 30% aged by 1 to 4 wines). The oak employed allows the Chenin flavours to shine without being masked by excessive new oak character. Nevertheless barrel-fermentation allows for a gentler, longer and more extended flavour development. The wine rests on its lees for a further 12 months in barrel, which imparts a richness and nutty character to augment the fruit flavours.＜CT90＞☆
