Pause Rouge 2020

Les Chais du Port de la Lune

Pause is an organic and natural red wine vinified in Bordeaux by the Chais du Port de la Lune, a merchant winery. Like all of this estate's vintages, it is a blend whose name refers to a musical theme. Pause is classified as a Vin de France. A relatively old vintage, this is a rare cuvée, as it comes from a small yield.

Vinification

Pause, from the Chais du Port de la Lune, is a blend of Carignan from Limoux, Gamay from Beaujolais (Côtes-de-Brouilly) and Syrah from the Hautes Corbières.

Tasting

Freshness and liveliness characterize this natural red wine. It is balanced, digestible, fruity, powerful and intense. Robust and concentrated, it will keep for several years. It will go well with red meats, charcuterie, cured meats, and will be admirable as an aperitif.

Under this poetic name hides a wine merchant house run by two oenologist partners, Laurent and Annica. The winemaking and aging cellars are located in the same place, in Bacalan, a northern district of Bordeaux that has undergone massive renovation in recent years, including the construction of the Cité internationale du Vin.

All the terroirs of France

Bordeaux, of course, but also Frontonnais, Anjou, Beaujolais… The grapes come from everywhere, harvested from partner winegrowers working organically. They are transported to Bordeaux to be vinified and aged. This gives rise to atypical blends and varied vintages, each of which is a discovery.

Organic, artisanal and urban wine

All the grapes are organic, the winemaking methods are gentle and natural (adding inputs in small quantities and as a last resort), often natural (no addition of sulfites). Crushing is done by foot and pressing in a vertical press. Fine craftsmanship for pure and honest wines, as representative of their winegrowers and their terroirs as of an innovative approach in the ancient city of wine.
