Tasty and versatile, it has 14.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with lot number L2273A on the lower part of the glass bottle. This 2019 is fermented in stainless steel and aged (80%) in concrete tanks and 20% in neutral French oak demi-muids. |

| TASTING NOTE: All old vine Carignan, the 2019 Côtes Catalanes Tessellae from Jean-Marc Lafage offers a beautifully pure nose of red and blue fruits, brambly herbs, violets, and leather. This carries to a medium to full-bodied red with silky tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It has impressive purity as well as elegance and is going to keep for 2-4 years. Maturity: 2020-2024. Score - 90-92 (jebdunnuck.com, Dec. 14, 2020) |
