Brotte - Les Murets, AOC Cote Rotie, 2019, 750ml

“Les Murets“ (small wall) : a tribute to the vineyards that are delimited by supporting walls made of brown earth, called “les cheys”
The parcels of vines selected for this wine stretch across terrasses around the town of Ampuis, on extremely steep slopes (40% gradient) facing south-south-east. The climate shows a great contrast between cold winters and extremely hot summers. The granitic soils support a top layer of mica-schistes and gneiss. Côte Rôtie has the distinction of having the most schisteous soils of the region, a notable characteristic of this appellation. Such terroir is perfect for Syrah: poor soils, freshness and sun. This variety has then limited yield, and reach perfect maturity to express its complexity and fruit.

「Les Murets」（小牆）：向葡萄園致敬，這些葡萄園由棕色泥土製成的支撐牆界定，稱為“les cheys”
釀造這款葡萄酒的葡萄藤遍布安普伊斯鎮周圍的露台，位於面向東南偏南的極其陡峭的斜坡（40% 坡度）上。冬季寒冷，夏季炎熱，氣候形成鮮明對比。花崗岩土壤支撐著雲母片岩和片麻岩的頂層。羅蒂丘擁有該地區最片岩的土壤，這是該產區的一個顯著特徵。這樣的風土非常適合西拉：貧瘠的土壤、新鮮的空氣和陽光。該品種的產量有限，並達到完美的成熟度以表達其複雜性和果實。

Sustainable winegrowing. The steep slope of the vineyard calls for all pruning, green harvest and fruit harvest to be done by hand. De-stemmed and crushed before being put into stainless steel vats for alcoholic fermentation and a long 20 day maceration, at temperatures of 28°-30°C. The malolactic fermentation is followed by 12 months minimum maturation in oak barrels of two and three wines.

可持續的葡萄種植。葡萄園的陡坡要求所有修剪、綠色採收和果實採收均由手工完成。去梗並壓碎，然後放入不銹鋼桶中進行酒精發酵，並在 28°-30°C 的溫度下進行 20 天的長時間浸漬。乳酸發酵後，在橡木桶中陳釀 2 種和 3 種葡萄酒，時間至少 12 個月。
