COLLIOURE

This superb Cuvée Rare from the exceptional terroir of Collioure whose terraces plunge into the Mediterranean Sea is deep garnet red in colour. The opulent nose opens with red fruit characters, cherry and strawberry, followed by notes of scorched bark and tobacco before finishing on notes of paprika and black pepper. The tannins are fine, smooth and well-integrated. The palate shows wonderful concentration with notes of prune, fresh mushroom and humus, evolving to a finish that highlights its wild cherry notes, mingled with mint and laurel. This challenging, austere terroir does not yield up its treasures easily, but when all the stars are aligned offers some of the most spectacular wines in the Roussillon.
