Fortant Grand Héritage 2014

A great wine for a great vintage!

Anchored in the seaside town of Sète, between the land and the ocean, Fortant brings out the terroir of the Languedoc through Fortant Grand Héritage, a limited edition cuvée.

Inspired by a barrel from 1877 that was found in the cellars and is stamped with “Grenache, Syrah, Carignan”, this cuvée symbolizes the heritage of Fortant. It offers a selection of great terroirs aged in wood for a rounded and full-bodied wine with aromas of blackberry, cocoa beans, and licorice.

Fortant Grand Héritage, only produced in exceptional vintages, is a blend of Grenache from old vines, which brings noble fruit and powerful aromas; Syrah, which brings a touch of spice; and Carignan, from very old vines aged 80 years, which provides a balanced structure. The wine is partially aged in large barrels, like in 1877, with the rest in regular ones, and small oval vats to bring finesse and harmony. This cuvée is limited to 1,620 bottles.
