Grés de Montpellier

Full

Cork

If Montpellier has an equivalent to Bordeaux's Haut-Brion - in other words, a leading wine-growing property surrounded by the city itself - it would be the 28ha Chateau de Flaugergues, one of the so-called 'folies de Montpellier'. These 18th century chateaux were built in the city by local nobles with royal support after the crushing of Protestant resistance to royal power. This unwooded cuvée brings together 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre. It’s dark red in colour, with balanced and enticing red fruits. On the palate it is vivid, bright, balanced, elegant and civilised: a fresh, firm, food-friendly red with ample liquorice, herb and stone flavours, and purposeful tannins.
