Domaine les Yeuses, L’Allée d’Oliviers 2023
IGP d’Oc
This is a blend from old vines of 70% Cabernet Franc and 30% Merlot – the sort of blend found in Saint Emilion. The Merlot is aged for 15 months in oak barrels, the Cabernet Franc in stainless steel. They are then blended and bottled after three months.
Deep in colour it has a gentle herbaceous nose. On the palate it is bursting with concentrated plummy fruit with hints of figs, prunes and liquorice, finishing with gentle tannins and good length. A perfect match for duck breast or a fillet steak.
