Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
Made at Les Deux Domaines in Meknès, the Moroccan venture in Gérard Depardieu's long list of vineyard interests — he also has holdings in Anjou, the Languedoc, Toro, Priorat, the Douro and Mendoza. This is a real appellation wine, not a name licensed onto a bottle: AOG Guerrouane, from the contrasted country around Meknès. A Syrah-Grenache blend, where Syrah brings the fruit, florals and spice along with the tannic frame and Grenache the flesh. Deep garnet with red glints, a powerful nose of black fruit and mocha, and an ample, sensual palate. Older bottles have been known to show some brett, so approach anything with real age with mild caution. Beef and strong cheese suit it.
