Domaine St André Folie d’Ines Rouge

Domaine Saint André

This dark ruby red is very intense and expressive, with blackberry and sour cherry aromas, followed by hints of sweet pepper. Plenty of well-balanced tannins on the palate, supported by a pleasant acidity. An elegant and well-structured wine!

Enjoy this wine at room temperature, with black Lentil stew, oregano & tomatoes, smoky BBQ, Cheese and Spinach Quiche.

The grapes are harvested and fermented separately. After a cold maceration, the fermentation is managed traditionally, in small stainless-steel tanks and concrete vats, providing a precise winemaking. The maceration last for 2 weeks, with regular pumping over extracting primary aromas, colour and tannins. The wine is aged 16 months in medium-toasted French oak barrels of 400l

James Suckling, 2024, 91 points: "A chalky, dense and textured blend of cabernet franc, merlot and syrah. On the nose cassis, strawberries and raspberries mingle with some dried spices and herbs. It's medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Juicy and well built, with a dense core of wild berries and herbs on the palate and a flavourful finish. Drink or hold."
