This newly-released 2021 is now a permanent VINTAGES ESSENTIAL An appealing, crowd-pleasing blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre with a deep intense purple-red colour. The attractive nose shows juicy, ripe, plum-cherry puree fruit with some gently complex sandalwood notes. Dry, medium bodied and well structured, it is gently spicy, bright, juicy, ripe black-cherry-plum-cassis flavours with a lingering, gently mineral-tinged, harmonious finish. Owner Jean-Marc Lafage ages this red in concrete in order to highlight the natural fruit flavours.

TASTING NOTE: This blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is from the Lafage family, who have been wine growers for seven generations. It comes from vines touching on 70 years of age and is renowned for offering a ripe, plush mix of red and dark fruit, dried flowers, incense, pepper, baking spices and Provençal herbs. A real gem. Try it with a charcuterie platter or grilled lamb. |
