Mas de Bret - IGP Alpilles - Red - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 IGP Alpilles Red is a smart blend of Syrah, Cabernet, and Cinsault—Mediterranean at heart, but with serious finesse. It opens with classy graphite notes, then unfurls into beautifully balanced black fruit, hints of spice, and a touch of dried herbs. The oak? Perfectly judged—never overdone. Fine-grained tannins, elegant structure, and a fresh, vibrant finish make this a standout bottle. Drink it now or cellar it for up to a decade. A Selection Committee favorite—rated 95/100.

Certified organic.

Deep, vibrant red with shimmering purple-crimson highlights.

Red and black fruit, lifted by notes of dried herbs.
