Val de l'Ours Rouge

Val de l’Ours reflects the generosity and wild nature of its terroir. Syrah and the Mediterranean varietals (Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan) are blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to offer an expressive, well-balanced wine with notes of red fruit and hints of mild spices.
A complex and generous wine to enjoy with your favourite meal or to socialize after work.

As in previous years, the weather varied enormously over the Languedoc region. The nearby Mediterranean coastline was strongly impacted by low rainfall, not only during the winter but also during the growing season.
However, this very special vintage enabled a good expression of the vines throughout the growth cycle, from bud break to flowering and, finally, the ripening stage. Proof that the combination of our cool terroir and plots that are now reaching maturity, was able to able to meet the challenge provided by this vintage’s atypical weather conditions.
Defying forecasts, the constraints imposed by the climate enabled excellent levels of ripeness to be achieved for all our vines, with beautiful aromatic expressions and good balance for all of the plots, from the first to ripen through to the last.
The plots used to produce the wine were harvested between 12 September and 08 October 2016.
