Type: Red
Region: Languedoc
Country: France
Grapes: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A named cuvée from the same Minervois estate, on the classic Languedoc quartet of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Bottled at the broader Languedoc level rather than under the village appellation, which usually means a fresher, earlier-drinking style rather than a lesser one. Red and dark cherry with garrigue herb, black pepper and a stony savour, medium-bodied with supple tannin. Lighter on its feet than the estate's prestige bottling and good served slightly cool.
