Robert Parker

“How charming!”

"The 2017 La Tête de Bélier Languedoc Saint Drezery is a truly captivating blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 5% Carignan and Mourvèdre. Aromas of smoke, garrigue, and black cherry combine on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is spicy, rich, and concentrated, offering a lovely texture and a hint of licorice on the long finish.” (Wine Advocate 2019 - Robert Parker) What charm!

It’s so good! The moment the cork pops, the aroma is intoxicating. On the palate, it’s sumptuous, with notes of garrigue and black fruits. Not a hint of heaviness, and what a long finish!
