Is an old district of Paris where the main food market supplying the city with food products and wines, use to be located. Produces were delivered by horse or ox carts or by barges on the Canal St-Martin (represented on our label). La Villette was a very animated area where authentic Parisians use to get together in some famous restaurants and bistros reputed for their fresh food and good wines.

Perfect with salads, veal filet or grilled chicken and light cheeses. Very good on its own too.

Color: Very deep purple colour
Nose: Refreshing and subtle aromas of ripe raspberries and cranberries with hints of plum and a touch of toast.
Palate: The palate shows a balance of ripe fruit and freshness with an appealing spicy smokiness.

Vinification starts with 2 days of prefermentation cold maceration in order to get fresh fruit, followed by a two week maceration. Ageing lasts about 6 months with French oak and bottling is done early in order to capture the grapes’ primary flavors..
