France

Côtes Catalanes

Full

Cork

A year that saw extreme frost in April, and thus diminished yield, as did drought in July and August. But rains in August drove the grapes to ripen quickly. It's a wine of real presence and depth, opening with aromas of garrigue, juniper, liquorice and warm sun-baked stones. The palate is rich with fresh and dried fruit, rounded and silky, revealing layers of mocha, dark chocolate and menthol as it unfolds. Mostly Lledoner Pelut with some Syrah, it's a marriage of fruit, structure and pulsing acidity.
