Languedoc Montpeyroux Domaine de l' Aiguelière Cote Rousse A. Commeyras 1997

The wine

Côte Rousse is composed of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah grapes, offering a ruby-red colour with violet hues, followed by an intense aromatic bouquet. There are touches of meaty, ripe black berries, vanilla, sweet spices and mocha. The silky, aromatic palate is structured by the mellow tannins that result from élevage in barrique barrels.

About the Producer L'Aiguelière

Planted on the superb terroir of Montpeyroux, the domain was created by Aimé Commeyras, who comes for an old family of winemakers, and by Dr Pierre-Louis Teissedre, professor of enology at Bordeaux University. Today, the estate is managed by his brother Auguste Commeyras. He and his team produce two aromatic, delicious red wines: Côte Dorée and Côte Rousse. Produced from an austere terroir of limestone scree, Aiguelière's wines combine the flavours of Mediterranean grape varieties with tried and tested vinification methods. Cuvée Prince Pégase is only produced in certain years and is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon.
