A lovely, limpid blood red colour, with an intensely aromatic nose, combining curry spices and garrigue herbs, with notes of spiced orange, forest floor and leather, all wrapped around a core of summer fruits. The palate is quite powerful and mouth-filling, with an array of redcurrant, cherry and plum fruit flavours, again with a hint of spiced orange. Ripe, tea-like tannins combine with juicy acidity and a hint of licorice, making for a delightfully tangy, sweet-sour style, and a long, mouth-watering finish. A really enjoyable, classic Languedoc red wine.
A blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Carignan & 10% Cinsault grapes. Vineyards planted between 1935 & 1990. All of the wines are both fermented and aged in concrete vats, completely unfettered by the influence of oak. This refreshing approach to winemaking allows the resulting wines to fully express their fruit and terroir, which they do with great verve. Furthermore, the reds are aged in bottle for at least a couple of years before release, which means they are already very approachable, though undoubtedly capable of further ageing.
