The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
We couldn't imagine life without La Villette Winery, and the La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. The name La Villette has a fascinating history. La Villette is an old Parisian neighborhood from which all of Paris was once supplied with wine and food. This was done by boat or horse-drawn carriage. The label of this delicious wine also harks back to this era, depicting the river on which the barges sailed with supplies. La Villette wines are made using the Vin de France label. This means that grapes from different regions are allowed to be blended. The grapes for this red wine come from vineyards located at the foot of the Pyrenees in southwestern France and from vineyards along the Mediterranean coast. This ensures perfect diversity.
La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. These delicious grapes are aged for 6 to 9 months in French and American oak. This already promises a lot of good. Upon pouring, the wine's beautiful deep red color is immediately noticeable. The aroma offers rich and full flavors of black fruit, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, and vanilla. The taste is ripe and intense, with powerful nuances of black fruit combined with spices and a soft hint of vanilla. The finish is intense and full-bodied with pleasant tannins. Perfect with a good piece of meat or hard cheeses.
A versatile red wine that pairs well with various meats. We're thinking steak, pork, and game. But thanks to its fresh and robust flavors, this La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon also pairs well with pizzas, various pasta dishes with red sauce, and of course, beef stroganoff. But if the gourmet diner is going to be there, this red wine is the perfect companion. It's no wonder that this La Villette Cabernet Sauvignon is a popular house wine in fine restaurants. We know why: it offers incredible value for money.
