Montpeyroux
A gleaming, brilliant wine with purple-red highlights. The nose opens on intense notes of fruit with blackcurrant and black fruit. The aromatic palette amplifies in the mouth to embrace white peach, aniseed, mint and heather. The tannins are refined and elegant but assertive. A beautifully balanced wine that promises excellent ageing potential.
This still unjustly ignored Cru that neighbours the famous Terrasses du Larzac deserves all our attention.
