Description
The Jaspe Rouge is a blend of Syrah (30%), Cinsault (20%), Cabernet (30%) and Carignan (20%) grown in the high altitude vineyards of the Bekaa Valley. The wine has a wonderful core of red and black fruits supported by hints of spice. Well-structured yet approachable, this modern Lebanese red has a lovely vein of freshness running through from start to finish.
The vines are planted at an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level, where the warm days are tempered by cooler nights. The summer diurnal temperature difference is 20°C, which encourages an extended ripening period, concentrating the flavours and aromatic complexity in the berries, while retaining balancing acidity from the cool nights. The soil is calcareous clay which is a cool soil that has good water retention properties to nourish the vines during the hot, dry summers. Due to its pH, calcareous clay soils tend to produce refreshing wines, which encourages further balance to the ripeness of fruit. The vines are cane pruned and are planted at a density of 4,000 vines per hectare. The vineyard is cultivated with respect for the environment and the grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity.

The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours.
