Certified Organic
"Very deep purple red, with sumptuous aromas of black fruit such as blackberry, counterbalanced by a lovely minerality. This vintage offers the same notes of crushed strawberry, blackcurrant and spices on the palate, which is powerful, smooth and delicate at the same time. A superb harmony. The dominant sensation is one of red fruit with a fresh, deliciously taut, liquorice finish. This is a new label for our organic Minervois whose different elements complement each other for a totally harmonious result."
- Winemakers Notes
"There's so much love and care poured into this old-vine Minervois from Laurent Calmel, and Jerome Joseph. Using estate grown Syrah, Carignan & Grenache, aged gently in vat, choke full of red and black fruits with a touch of spice & thyme, this red from the sun drenched Minervois region produces some of the best wines of the Languedoc. With a few years in the bottle this 2020 is in a lovely drinking zone."
