Tasting Notes
This is a super AOC Languedoc wine from an outstanding family owned domain currently in conversion to certified organic. Full of the typical garrigue terroir with a slightly rustic element. A deep dark red verging on inky in colour. Spicy notes from the Syrah supporting the fresh strawberry notes from the grenache. A medium bodied wine with fresh acidity and smooth tannins. Lovely and supple on the palate and an excellent food wine.
Ideal with gratin dauphinoise, roast pork cooked with Provencal herbs, spaghetti served with a Bolognese sauce.
