domaine henry: mailhol
Vintage: 2012
Alcohol by volume: 13,5%
Description: A unique and historic wine. 1st historical reconstruction of an identical wine, unique in France and Europe.
This is the wine of St Georges d’Orques in its original form, the result of a mass selection (no clones) and a completion of the 12 grape varieties that made it up in 1710 (which disappeared after the phylloxera plague), harvested and vinified in a single tank. The plot is located at a slight altitude on a terroir of limestone with limestone gravel. This soil is very distinctive and gives the wine a dense framework of great class and the ability to age for a long time, like the Burgundian Grands Crus.
Tasting notes:
The very original nose surprises with a palette of small wild red fruits (guigne, sour cherry), flowers (rose, peony and violet) and spices that give it a southern touch. The pure, dense mouthfeel with chiselled flavours and a penetrating and graceful fluidity is airy, as it has a lighter alcohol content than today’s wines.
Its tannins are crisp and silky.
Food and wine pairing: It is very versatile, respecting the delicacy of a braised veal, merging with the tenderness of a matured cut of beef, awakening the discretion of a poultry with its chiselled and concise character, crossing blades with a pigeon or a leg of wild boar, slipping into the delicate and fragrant flavours of a lamb tagine… It’s up to you to find the right combination with cheeses it doesn’t fear!
