Description

• French oak
• Black fruit
• Cinnamon
• Pepper

"This is gorgeously expressed on the nose, showing blackcurrant, thyme, toasted spice and dried flower aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that's robust and sturdy. Flavoursome and structured with a lengthy engaging finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2023

Deep red robe. Intense aromas of black fruits enhanced by notes of pepper, bay laurel and cinnamon.

The grapes for this wine come from two terroirs: vineyards on slopes in the Hérault and vines in the Aude in the Minervois region.

Long maceration period (3 to 4 weeks) in order to give roundness and tannins. Oak barrel ageing for 30% of the cuvée.

Abbotts & Delaunay varietal wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and elegant wines from the Pays d’Oc that are the perfect complement to our AOC collection. Thanks to work in the vineyards that respects the soil and the vines, we are able to harvest healthy, concentrated grapes as well as take care to preserve the wild plants («Fleurs sauvages» or «Fruits Sauvages») that border them.

Food Pairing: Serve at 17°C with grilled meat, game and cheeses.
