"It ranks among the best Languedoc wines of all time. According to Jeb Dunnuck."

"The Terrasses Du Larzac La Peira 2020 is absolutely brilliant and one of the best wines in this report. Made from 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and the rest Mourvèdre, and aged for two years in 10% new oak, it offers an incredible bouquet of ripe blue fruits, lavender, smoked meat, and pepper that opens up beautifully with time in the glass. The full-bodied, rich and opulent palate is round and ample, with ripe, flawless tannins, perfect balance and a heavenly finish. This wine ranks among the best Languedoc wines ever produced and will evolve for 15 to 20 years if stored correctly. It ranks among the best Languedoc wines of all time." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023).

About wine:

Tasted as a blend of selected barrels, the Terrasses du Larzac la Peira 2020 seems to be the best of the three vintages tasted. Massively fruity, it needs more time in barrel to become accessible. Full-bodied, lively, effusive, powerful yet supple, it finishes long, with lingering notes of licorice.
