Coteaux du Languedoc Puech Noble Le Vassal René Rostaing 2023

Le Vassal is a blend of 80% Syrah from young vines, complemented by 10% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre, grown on the Languedoc slopes. The Puech Noble terroir is defined by clay-limestone soils strewn with rolled pebbles, similar to those found in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This soil composition promotes good drainage and heat retention, allowing for warm days and cool nights that favour balanced, even ripening. In the winery, fermentation follows a traditional approach without malolactic fermentation.
The wine show a striking bright ruby-red hue. The expressive nose reveals ripe red fruit aromas, notably cherry and raspberry, lifted by spiced notes of black pepper. On the palate, a clean attack leads into fine, well-integrated tannins supported by fresh acidity, carrying through to a long, persistent finish.
