Terrasses du Larzac

Full

Cork

The nose is alive with red cherries, strawberries and aniseed scents. Such a juicy core, really vibrant and refreshing, bright cherry fruits and blackcurrants, jammy and almost sweet but with cinnamon and liquorice spices attacking the sides of the mouth giving structure and support. Elegant and characterful.  The vines average 30 to 35 years old and are planted on iron-rich, red clay soils full of black basalt stones. Certified organic since 2008 with some biodynamic preparations since 2016. Manual harvest with different grapes vinified separately, first destemmed and then fermented with native yeasts in tank before aging in 400l, 500l and 600l oak barrels, none of them new, for one year. Available for around 14 euros.
