Calmel & Joseph - Les Crus - Terrasses du Larzac 2014
17,5/20
Jancis Robinson
A blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah, this Terrasses du Larzac offers a nose that is as distinctive as ever, with rich aromas of blackcurrant, elderberry, and candied fruit cake. The palate is refreshing and elegant, with subtle hints of mint and oak. Mourvèdre, the dominant variety in this blend, makes for a complex wine with excellent aging potential.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The perfect choice for anyone who wants to discover fine Languedoc wines that remain true to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without their own cellars. They age the selected vintages at the wineries from which they purchase them, respecting the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.
