A genuine and quite wonderful red from Languedoc. This blend of Grenache and Syrah shows a deep ruby color and old-world notes of garrigue, black raspberries and pepper. It's a complex and wonderful red that is undoubtedly French. Enjoy with game meats, lamb, and roasts.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
Based on Syrah and Grenache brought up mostly in concrete tanks, the 2018 Languedoc Prestige comes from older vines and limestone soils not far from the Pic Saint Loup appellation in the Languedoc. Incredibly consistent, it sports a deep purple hue as well as a ripe, sexy bouquet of both red and black fruits intermixed with lots of spice, chocolate, and earthy, peppery nuances. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, with a pure, velvety mouthfeel and a great finish, it's going to evolve for a solid 3-5 years, possibly even a decade, although there's no need to delay gratification, as it's beautiful today.
