| Tasting note |
The Languedoc was spared the vagaries of the weather that affected France’s other wine-producing areas, but 2013 was still an unusual year in terms of climate. Abundant rain during the autumn of 2012 was followed by a fairly dry winter. The cold, wet spring contrasted with the temperatures in the first few months of 2013, which were quite mild, in line with averages for the Languedoc. July and August were sunny and hot, enabling the vines to partially catch up after the slow start to the growth cycle. A relatively cool, dry September and October permitted a slow ripening of the tannins, and helped preserve the freshness all of the grape varieties.
60% Syrah, 25% Grenache & 15% Mourvedre.
