Plot Selection · Le Montpeyre · 2017

75cl • AOP Cabardès

GRAPE VARIETIES • Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

TERROIR • The vineyard climbs the sunny, rocky slopes on the southern side of the Montagne Noire, between 200 and 400 meters in altitude. The Montpeyre hillside is an exceptional plot at 350 meters altitude, cleared and planted in 1995 — a kind of natural “clos” surrounded by garrigue and pine forest. The cool nights allow for slow, gentle ripening and the most elegant aromatic expression.

TASTING NOTES • Powerful and complex nose with aromas of black fruits, truffle, coriander, and a hint of pepper. Full-bodied and generous palate with very fine tannins and a beautiful harmony with the oak. This cuvée will reach its full potential in about ten years.
