Les Délices d’Apollon 2022 charms with its bright purple color.
On the nose, it reveals fresh red fruit aromas — raspberry and cherry — enhanced by delicate woody notes.
On the palate, it is a generous, full-bodied wine with round, silky tannins, well-balanced power, and a harmonious finish combining fruit, freshness, and elegance.
This is a pleasurable Graves red: approachable now, yet structured enough to evolve gracefully over the coming years.
Délices d’Apollon is one of the exceptional cuvées from Château Vénus, a estate managed by Emmanuelle and Bertrand Amart since its creation in 2005.
Located in Illats, within the Graves appellation, the vineyard covers approximately 8 to 9 hectares.
Viticulture is carried out with a sustainable approach: traditional soil management (no chemical herbicides), sowing of cover crops, leaf thinning, and hand harvesting. This reflects a strong commitment to respecting the terroir. The grape varieties used for the red cuvées such as Apollon “Le Divin” and Délices are mainly Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon.
As for the soils, the Graves terroir is characterized by well-draining gravel soils, made of rounded stones, gravel, sand, and clay. This composition ensures good drainage while retaining some moisture and natural freshness. These soils allow for slow, balanced ripening, contributing to the elegance and complexity of the estate’s wines. (These characteristics are typical of the Graves appellation and are reflected in the vineyard practices at Château Vénus.)
