Description
The Hauts de Bonpas from the Bonpas estate is a red wine made from Grenache, Syrah and Carignan grapes grown on the Costières plateau, located between Nîmes and the Camargue region in southern France. The name of the estate derives from “Bon passage”, in reference to the safe crossing of the Durance River that once linked Rome to Avignon.
During vinification, all the grapes are destemmed and a portion of them is crushed to encourage carbonic maceration. Extraction techniques are gentle, with minimal oxygen input, while the temperature is kept at 25°C to allow the tannins to integrate slowly and preserve the fruit’s aromas and flavors.
In the glass it shows a deep garnet color. The aromatic bouquet offers pleasant notes of fresh red fruit, lifted by hints of licorice. On the palate it is soft and full right from the start, with flavors recalling red fruit and delicate spices. Velvety tannins support a rich, enveloping aromatic profile.
Ideal with braised or grilled meats, lightly spiced vegetables, or blue cheeses.
