2019 Château La Négly Villamanda

Château la Négly is located in the Languedoc, on the banks of the Étang de Pissévache on the foothills of the La Clape Massif. Négly is owned by the Paux-Rosset family, and daughter Marion makes the wine, assisted by oenologist Claude Gros. The great diversity of soils, height difference and location (up to ten meters from the tide's edge!) ensures a great variety in style and strength, but there is one characteristic that unites all wines: great precision and a strong degree of minerality. The quality of Négly has not gone unnoticed by Parker: he has repeatedly given high ratings (up to 99 points) to various Négly wines!

The La Négly Villamanda is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, with a little bit of Mourvèdre in this vintage. The vineyard located on a soil of sandy clay limestone, with ideal sun exposure, located on the hilltops of Villeveyrac in the Hérault department. This terroir overlooks the sea and takes full advantage of its south-facing location. The grapes are harvested manually in 8kg boxes and then the grapes are individually sorted. The barrel process takes a long time (about five weeks) in wooden truncated conical barrels. The wine then matures in oak barrels for 24 months. In the nose and mouth, aromas of ripe black fruit, light tobacco and the special garrigue give this wine depth and exceptional length. The notes of cedar and vanilla are really soft and well integrated into the plum and blackberry fruits, blending seamlessly with nuances of dried herbs. Full, velvety and long. It is an ideal accompaniment to spit-roasted roasts with homemade spicy sauce.
