Calmel & Joseph - Les Crus - Terrasses du Larzac 2014
17,5/20
Jancis Robinson
A blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah, this Terrasses du Larzac has a distinctive nose with delicious aromas of blackcurrant, elderberry, and fruitcake. We appreciate its frank and elegant palate with subtle menthol and woody notes. Mourvèdre, the major player in this blend, makes it a complex cuvée with excellent aging potential.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The ideal place for those who want to discover the best Languedoc wines that remain faithful to their terroir. Jérôme Joseph and Laurent Calmel are wine merchants without a cellar. They age selected vintages at the wineries where they purchase them, respecting the flavors and terroirs of origin. A wide range of delicious wines, including many successful vintages and a few amazing surprises.
