Château la Negly - La Falaise - Red 2020
Château la Négly is located in Occitanie , facing the Mediterranean, in the La Clape massif. In the 18th century, the Château bore the name of Ancely. It was in 1781 that the property took the name of Nerly to finally be called La Négly in 1807 and later obtained the name of Château. Several families have succeeded each other at the head of the estate. The Paux-Rosset family will definitively guide the vineyard in a qualitative production. The cultivation method is modified and the vines are completely replanted. The neighboring estate of Boède is leased. With the help of consultant oenologist Mr. Claude Gros, the vinification will be completely redesigned. Together, they bought the Boède estate in 2006 with a third partner, Alain Wittner. Today, Bastien Paux-Rosset, responsible for the culture, exploits these re-planted vineyards which extend over 75 hectares (the vineyard extends over 50 hectares and that of Boède over 25 hectares). Ideally exposed, the terroirs of Négly and Boède are distinguished by the diversity of their soils. In order to better enhance these, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre have replaced Aramon, Terret and Carignan blanc. The vineyard is conducted in sustainable agriculture .
La Falaise is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre . Syrah is vinified in wooden vats and Grenache and Mourvèdre in concrete vats . The aging lasts 12 months , mostly in wood with various containers.
Grapes: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre
