Earl Nicolet LeyraudEstimated delivery between 2 and May 3,
This cuvée is made from old Syrah and Grenache vines. All the Syrah is aged in one-wine barrels for 1 year. The Grenache is aged in concrete vats for 1 year. Blending of the two, followed by 3 months' ageing in concrete vats. An ample, powerful, full-bodied wine, just like in the region! "In the glass, an intense black rasteau, open to cooked red fruits, cocoa and a few animal nuances. On the palate, greedy, generous aromas of prune and licorice, imposing density and richness, ageing tannins but without harshness, and well-adjusted oak. Something to look forward to over the next few years. (Guide Hachette)
