AOP Terrasses du Larzac
A consistent award-winner in the prestigious Guide Hachette.  This is a blend of 45% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 15% Carignan with some gentle oak ageing. A gentle minty with hints of truffle. The palate is bursting with black fruits.  It is rich and complex with gamey flavours, a hint of liquorice at the finish, very little tannin and great length.
