Tasting Notes
That one of the greatest wine produced in the CdP region should be designated a “Vin de Pays” shows how meaningless French appellation law can be. The reason is that this singular wine, produced from sandy vineyards where nothing should reasonably grow, is a blend of Merlot and Syrah, which is not allowed under appellation rules. Forget the legality. Enjoy and admire, this is serious stuff. It’s elegant, light (but dense) and creamy in texture, with leather, dried fruit, black olive and cocoa notes fading into a softly dusty finish tinged with lingering espresso nuances.
