This 27ha domain, beautifully sited on the lonely plateau of Aumélas, is the property of the Peytavy family, with the wines being made with evident skill and finesse by Philippe Peytavy. This red is 33% Syrah - one-third wood aged - with 33% Grenache, 25% Carignan and just 9% of Cinsault. It's very dark black-red in colour with a typical Languedoc scent of fresh red and black fruits with thyme and scrub-plant complexities. There's almost shocking intensity and vivacity on the palate, with crunchy acidity, brisk tannins, more black than red fruit, and the rich, bitter notes which suggest those herbs and scrub plants on the finish.
