Côtes du Roussillon Villages
A gorgeous gleaming garnet red. Powerful but well balanced on the nose with black fruit such as blackcurrant but also yellow plum and a box of spices such as dill and coriander and richer notes of cinnamon and laurel. In the mouth the tannins are fine and melting, with an expression that is typical of our Roussillon … blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry jam and fig, garrigue, spices, black pepper, liquorice and toasted notes. An incredible aromatic complexity that is a fine representation of the best this terroir has to offer. Always appreciated at table.
