Château Jouclary - Cuvée Guilhaume | AOP Cabardès | Merlot - Syrah - Grenache
Red wine | France, LANGUEDOC | 2022
Deep garnet color with purple reflections.
Lovely, very pure and open aromas of cumin, white pepper, mint, white fig, dried fruits, apricots, and raisins.
A well-rounded texture with a subtle oak influence that ensures a beautiful persistence.
Generous and powerful, it is richer and denser than previous vintages while maintaining elegance, without showing any signs of over-ripeness.

About Ch. Jouclary
The vineyards are located in the promontory of the Montagne Noire, with a view of the historic city of Carcassonne. The family domain comprises 60 hectares of vineyard, half of which are AOP Cabardès, with a rich clay and lime soil, which ensures concentrated wines. The other half belongs to the IGP Oc appellation and produces fresh wines. They mainly own cement cuves, for fermenting the grape juice. This space is half underground and is adjusted annually to more modern techniques.
