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, elderflower, and candied fruit cake. We appreciate its frank and elegant palate, featuring subtle hints of mint and oak. Mourvèdre, the dominant variety in this blend, makes for a complex wine with excellent aging potential.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The perfect choice for those who want 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 their selected vintages at the winemakers’ estates from whom they purchase them, preserving the original flavors and terroirs. A wide, delightful selection featuring many excellent wines and a few stunning surprises.
