Organoleptic description of Pécharmant red wines

Pécharmant's distinctive taste is due to the geographical location where it is produced. It's a sedimentary zone. The bedrock is a Mesozoic limestone over which the river has deposited iron-rich clayey sands, mixed with gravels eroded from the Massif Central. A small part of the AOC is located on a gravelly river terrace. The Pécharmant vineyards benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, with good southern exposure. This local climate favors good grape ripening and concentration of sugars and aromas. 

Pécharmant wine has a dense, dark garnet color. As it ages, it develops orange hues. The first nose reveals aromas of red fruits such as blackberry, cherry and redcurrant, as well as notes of cooked fruit such as prune. The second nose is marked by more toasty fragrances of cocoa beans, coffee and vanilla, with hints of spice, licorice and chocolate. On swirling, notes of undergrowth and mushrooms emerge. When aged, Pécharmant develops an animal side. On the palate, this red wine is beautifully fresh. Pécharmant has a surprisingly frank and powerful attack. Young, it expresses itself on the fruit and has a fleshy, deep chew with a very present, rather round tannic structure. As it ages, the tannins soften, offering longer persistence.
