Brotte - Bord Elegance Laudun, AOC Cotes du Rhone Villages, 2022, 750ml

The vines are planted on slopes which are composed of clay-sand stones or gravels, with poor soils which drain water perfectly and give to the wines of the area their freshness and acidity. Also benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and powerful local Mistral wind, the grapes thrive with warmth and do not suffer from humidity. Thus, the wines are powerful, round and flavoursome. Heat and freshness combined provide Laudun wine great harmony and balance, which can not be found in the rest of the Rhône Valley.

葡萄藤種植在由粘土、砂石或礫石組成的斜坡上，土壤貧瘠，排水良好，賦予該地區的葡萄酒新鮮度和酸度。此外，受益於地中海氣候和當地強勁的米斯特拉爾風，葡萄在溫暖的環境下茁壯成長，並且不受潮濕的影響。因此，這些葡萄酒口感強勁、圓潤且美味。熱度和新鮮度相結合，為Laudun洛丹區的葡萄酒提供了極大的和諧與平衡，這在隆河谷的其他地區是找不到的。

Thanks to the climate, Syrah and Grenache reach perfect maturity before harvesting. The grapes are quickly transported to the winery in small cases to avoid the oxidation of the juice. Each variety is vinified separately. Syrah ferments at a temperature below 27°C, then macerates shortly during 2 weeks to bring maximum black fruit flavour. This variety also provides the majority of the tannins. Punching of the cap and releasing enable to extract maximum tannins. Grenache is vinified at higher temperature (28-29°C) to extract power and fat. The maceration lasts long (3 to 4 weeks) to get maximum complexity from the fruit of the Grenache. Ageing takes place during 8 months in 100 year old oak vats to develop fat and length, and concrete vats to reveal the fruit.

由於氣候的原因，西拉和歌海娜在收穫前就達到了完美的成熟度。葡萄被裝在小箱子裡快速運送到酒莊，以避免果汁氧化。每個品種都單獨釀造。西拉在低於 27°C 的溫度下發酵，然後在兩週內進行短暫浸漬，以帶來最大的黑色水果風味。該品種還提供了大部分單寧。沖孔並釋放瓶蓋可以最大限度地提取單寧。歌海娜在較高溫度（28-29°C）下釀造，以提取能量和脂肪。浸漬持續很長時間（3 至 4 週），以最大限度地發揮歌海娜果實的複雜性。在 100 年歷史的橡木桶中進行 8 個月的陳釀，以形成脂肪和長度，並在混凝土桶中進行陳釀，以展現果味。
