Coteaux du Languedoc Elise Terrasse d'Elise (Domaine de la) 2018

The wine

The cuvée Elise, which is 70% Syrah and 30% Mourvèdre, is aged for 24 months in barriques, making it a fine wine with good aging potential, the archetype of great Languedoc wines. When drinking, it unfurls beautiful aromas of red fruit, slightly spicy and a magnificent texture. With its remarkable length and fine acidity, it deserves several years in the cellar before being appreciated.

About the Producer Terrasse d'Elise

Xavier Braujou has been running the family-owned Terrasse d'Elise domain since 1998. Keeping quality as his constant watchword, he has chosen to reduce yields dramatically (to around 20 hl/ha) and to work with old grape varieties. In particular, he has opted for certain cuvées to work with single varieties, showcasing his Cinsault, Carignan and Mourvèdre grapes – too often considered only as grapes for blending. Although not certified, the vineyard is run according to organic and biodynamic principles.
