Tasting note
Intensely red in color, this is a wine with a complex character, combining aromas of vanilla, chocolate and oak from the barrel, with notes of forest fruits and spices. The palate shows volume, robust tannins and a sensuous viscosity that balances with the fine acidity. The lingering finish of the wine leaves tasty notes of fruits and spices on the mouth.
Viticulture
Ble Alepou utilizes Syrah grapes from blocks #1 and 2 with loamy limestone soils, Merlot from block #24, and experimental varieties from smaller parcels. Vine spacing of 3,500-4,000 per hectare ensures optimal vigor and canopy management, yielding less than 80 hectoliters per hectare.
Vinification
Ble Alepou highlights Kir-Yianni Estate's terroir. Grapes are selected for acidity, alcohol, ripeness, aroma, and color. Cold soaked separately, they ferment in French oak with hydraulic pigeage for gentle extraction. Aged in new French oak casks for depth and complexity.
Food Match
Intense, robust, with warm alcohol and dense texture, Ble Alepou is a wine destined for bold food pairings, either with dishes of the classic French cuisine or dishes with a more creative twist.
