Mas de Sainte-Croix - Tendresse d'un Climat 2016
1*Étoile
Hachette
Seductive and generous, this cuvée has a ripe, intense nose of black fruits and spices. The 75% Grenache brings fruit and roundness to the powerful tannins of the Syrah. Finally, a touch of freshness harmonizes the whole.

About wine:
A favorable blend of Grenache (55%, with 45% Syrah) in this black cherry-colored cuvée, opening with pleasant notes of menthol, blackcurrant, and blackberry. An aromatic palette complemented by licorice on a round and silky palate, well structured by fine and elegant tannins. Good aging potential.
About the estate:
A 25-hectare estate located at an altitude of 400 meters, formerly owned by a chaplain and acquired in 2002 by Jacques Coipel. After traveling the world, Julien, the son, took over the winemaking in 2011.
