A new domain based in Félines-Minervois, and one of remarkable ambition if this concentrated and dramatic wine is anything to go by.  Like Piccinini’s Line et Laetitia, it is a blend of 40% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre with the balance from Grenache. Its 18 months of oak is evident, though not unduly so when set alongside its intensity of fruit: subtly mentholated, freshly spicy aromas set the scene for a big gust of flavour, bright, high-focus, packed with vibrant plum-sloe.
