Domaine Peyre Rose - Coteaux du Languedoc - Marlène n°3 - Rouge - 2003

Wine:

With a higher proportion of Grenache, the 2003 red Coteaux du Languedoc Marlène n°3 is without a doubt the wine of the range that gains the most from aging. This red is already twenty years old and almost unaffected by time. Evoking a great Spanish reserve at its birth, it has since mellowed, polished its tannins, and tamed the power of the vintage. Leather and sweet spices mixed with notes of undergrowth constitute a new harmony woven on a texture of great suavity. Rated 93/100 RVF and 93/100 Parker.

Vinification:

Hand harvested, aged for 24 months in vats and tuns.

Cellar aging:

From now on and more for enthusiasts

An icon of the Languedoc region, Peyre Rose is, first and foremost, the non-conformist work of Marlene Soria. Created at the beginning of the 90s with modest ambitions, the estate quickly became an icon, the reference of a still nascent Languedoc vineyard eager to bring its great wines to the international scene.

Adulated by Robert Parker, Peyre Rose swiftly caught the attention of critics and wine lovers alike. Forever in demand, his wines are an inspiration, models of temperance and expectation, bearing the stigma of time, revealed by measured and patient maturation and exemplary organic farming.

The three reds (Belle Léone, formerly Syrah Léone, Les Cistes, formerly Clos des Cistes and Marlène n°3), which are predominantly Syrah, full-bodied and energetic at birth, thus take on the patina of time with unparalleled grace, brilliantly transcending the paradox between a delicate, perfumed aroma and the sublime concentration of their origin. Endowed with captivating finales, they are great wines for aging, marketed by the estate after long years of evolution in the cellar.
