Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The nose is frank and open, revealing aromas of red fruit coulis, candied pepper, black fruits au gratin, with a gourmet touch of roasting.
Supple, well-balanced attack, with body and a lovely character marked by grilled pepper, herbs and hints of sweet spices such as paprika and black pepper.
Good persistence, fleshy finish.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

Domain and appellation

Chateau de Tiregand
Château de Tiregand is located on the most beautiful slopes of Pécharmant, facing south. The PIAT family recently took over this estate and initiated a conversion to organic farming in September 2022.
- Terroir:
The 43-hectare vineyard sits on soil composed of sand, gravel, and an underlying iron-rich gravel.
- Viticulture:
The estate promotes grape maturity through short pruning, controlling the yield of each plot (thinning and green harvesting), and leaf stripping on each side of the row.
- Vinification:
A 10-day fermentation in tanks, with temperature control, is followed by a 10 to 15-day maceration "on the skins". The wine is then aged for nearly 15 months in oak barrels, with 20% of the barrels being new.
