2020 Chateau L’Hospitalet Languedoc-La Clape La Reserve Rouge
2020 Chateau L’Hospitalet Languedoc-La Clape La Reserve Rouge The fullness, strength and rounded body are counterbalanced by great freshness and a real aromatic complexity with aniseed, mint and garrigue scents with toast and citrus developing into honey-sweet notes. Elegant and balanced, this cuvée has great character and a nice long finish.
Wine from the Languedoc-Roussillon region is produced in the South of France, ranging from the Mediterranean coast to Provence. Cabernet, Merlot, Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah are some of the most important red grapes in the region. The name comes from a combination of two distinct regions. The Languedoc is known for fruit-forward and full-bodied wines that can also be quite complex. Roussillon produces riper and juicier blends, as well as late-harvest and fortified wines. Most wineries in this region choose to produce blends, as opposed to single varietal wines.
Château l’Hospitalet is nestled in the heart of the protected massif of la Clape, an ancient link in the Pyrenees chain, a Phoenician and then Roman island, the cradle of the vine in France. As early as the 13th century, the Hospices de Narbonne moved to la Clape, linked to the continent by the alluvial deposits of the Aude since the end of the Middle Ages. Documents from 1561 attest to its mission of welcoming and sharing with pilgrims. This vocation of hospitality has inspired Gérard Bertrand who has made l’Hospitalet the beating heart of his action around the Mediterranean art of living since he acquired the property in 2002. Today, the Château has a hotel, a gourmet restaurant, a tasting and sales cellar, an Art Space and a rich offer of sensory tours around wine. Music was missing: in 2004, the château hosted the first “Jazz à l’Hospitalet” festival, which has now become an international reference.
