Tasting notes: This a really interesting and delicious wine. Starting with its light and clear ruby color and a tiny bit of shininess. The nose tends to be complex after being open for a while. All those fruit (mostly black) scents coming right to your nose, as blackberry, ripped black cherry and cranberry. There is also a inch of oak balancing the nose and once you bring this wine to your palate it’s an explosion of flavours. Medium tannin and medium body, this wine is balanced. A rustic style to it, with a lot of fruits flavours (which are the same as the nose), but I think the earthiness of this wine and its high acidity make it simply beautiful and delicious. And even better because its length a little while too.

Food Pairing suggestions: As I said this wine is having a high acidity and is a bit earthy, which is something great when it comes to pair wine with food. My suggestion for dinner to accompany this Santenay will certainly start with a chilled green asparagus salad prepared with some extra virgin olive oil and mustard dressing. I would follow by a “Coq au Vin” (long time braised chicken in a red wine sauce with some aromatic onions and bacon) served with some grilled vegetables. And for the gourmet the best part: the dessert – I would finish this dinner with a creme brulee – as simple as that but still delicious.

This is a really good wine,  authentic wine, a Sit-down Bottle .

Unmistakable!! The style of Capcanes in the Montsant. The other evening we only wanted a glass each to enjoy with a movie and I grabbed the last 0,375l bottle of Costers del Gravet 2003 from Capcanes, it´s really at it´s best point.
