Côteaux du Languedoc Rose Rouge Marlène Soria 2002

Domaine Peyre Rose was created in the early 1990s by Marlène Soria, on the slopes of Saint-Pargoire between Béziers and Montpellier. The 25-hectare domain is planted mainly with red grapes (70% Syrah, then Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Carignan), with two hectares of white (50% Rolle, 40% Roussanne, and various other varieties including Viognier). The domain is certified for organic cultivation, and produces characteristic wines with great concentration and a very long élevage (and an additional bottle ageing before sale). The production is high in quality but limited in quantity, and therefore highly sought after by connoisseurs!
