Domaine Galuval Le Coq Volant Rouge 2022

TASTING NOTES

The emblem of the Domaine de Galuval, the Rooster (from the Latin Gallus), spins around as the weathervane is battered by the wind. The Mistral and the benefit it brings are what help our vineyards to prosper, ventilating the vines, keeping the grapes healthy and chasing away the clouds to allow them to reach perfect maturity. The Coq Volant Red takes its inspiration from this wind and offers a fruity and gossamer like profile as a tribute.

The wine offers the best of the two iconic grape varieties of our region, Syrah and Grenache. We vinified them together to create an osmosis between their two personalities very early in the winemaking process. A wind of change is blowing in the Rhone Valley…one of pure pleasure from the Coq Volant Red.

The Syrah and Grenache for this blend were characterised in this vintage by their measured maturity levels which gave a fresher, brighter profile than the other wines from this year.

Le Coq Volant Red 2022 is a deep red with purple gleams. The nose offers aromas of violet from the Syrah and red fruit from the Grenache, underpinned by the elegance conferred by oak ageing. In the mouth it is harmonious and fresh, with good length, in notes of black fruit, spices and with silky tannins.
