Mas de Sainte-Croix - Tendresse d'un Climat 2016
1*Étoile
Hachette
Alluring and full-bodied, this wine offers a ripe, intense nose of dark fruits and spices. The 75% Grenache brings fruitiness and roundness to the tannic power of the Syrah. Finally, a touch of freshness brings the whole together.

About wine:
Grenache takes center stage (55%, with 45% Syrah) in this deep black cherry-colored wine, which opens with pleasant notes of menthol, blackcurrant, and blackberry. The aromatic profile is rounded out by licorice on a round, silky palate, well-structured by fine, elegant tannins. It shows great potential for aging.
About the estate:
A 25-hectare estate situated at an altitude of 400 meters, formerly owned by a chaplain and acquired in 2002 by Jacques Coipel. After traveling the world, his son Julien took over winemaking operations in 2011.
