"This is a complex wine that opens with aromas of beautifully ripe red fruits (raspberry, cherry, blackberry), supported by smoky and spicy notes. The palate is full-bodied and dense, with expressive yet elegant tannins. A long finish for a lovely wine with aging potential." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). Mourvèdre and Grenache (hence its name?) are equally prominent in this cuvée: the former contributes its typical cocoa aromas and structure, while the latter adds notes of red fruit and fullness. The overall impression is straightforward, rich, complex, and uncompromising. A remarkable wine—a true exercise in style!

blends the red berry flavors (ripe raspberry) of Grenache with the cocoa notes typical of old-vine Mourvèdre
Palate
Typical of the full-bodied character of old Grenache vines, the Mourvèdre’s structure lends the finish a firm, lingering quality with tight, long-lasting tannins. The ripe fruit gives way to spicy notes (nutmeg, clove) and roasted aromas.
