Domaine Sarda-Malet - Le Terroir Mailloles rouge 2004
One of the finest wines from the Languedoc!
Bettane & Desseauve 17/20, RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20 R. Parker 89/100This sumptuous cuvée, the estate’s flagship wine, was first produced 15 years ago and is a model of its kind. It is crafted from a plot-selective blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah grown on a superb terroir where very low yields of 18 hl/ha ensure optimal grape quality. Today, it represents the very epitome of elegance and refinement in the Roussillon. Concentrated, rich, and fresh, yet never overly heavy, this is undoubtedly a wine worth discovering and adding to your cellar to enjoy sharing with others.

About the estate:
The wines: The 2005Terroir Mailloles white is still marked by its aging, with subtle buttery notes, but it has great potential; it should be cellared for at least another year. As for the reds, this cuvée remains the estate’s finest. A delicious Muscat de Rivesaltes, full of fruit and perfectly balanced, while the 2005 La Carbasse is in the vein of the great vintages.”
