Descriere
Chimères is made from vines of Grenache, Syrah and Carignan planted on black schist and schistous clay soils near the village of Maury (both inside and just outside the village boundaries so Chimères carries the Côtes du Roussillon Villages appellation). These sites are located at the base of the mountain-top fortress of Quéribus – one of the last sanctuaries of the Cathars. Made through a strict selection of fruit, first in the vineyard and then a berry by berry selection after destemming, Chimères captures the dark fruit flavors and spicy minerality typical of the black schist soils of the Agly valley.
