Coming from specific parcels, the 2021 red Terrasses du Larzac Les Ouvrées prominently features Syrah, which contributes half of the blend alongside Mourvèdre and Grenache. This single-vineyard wine, aged in wood and concrete egg, presents a refined ensemble, with juicy, ripe, persistent fruit, centered on spicy notes and depth of style. It's a wine meant for aging, outstanding in its delicate concentration and freshness. It pairs beautifully with red meats or game. |
