Syrah, Grenache and Carignan have been grown on soils of gneiss and granite. After being destemmed, they were fermented slowly (3 weeks) and aged for one year in barriques (30%) and concrete vats (70%). This has given the wine both a certain complexity and enabled it to preserve the freshness of the grape varieties. Thus, the garnet hue exudes an aromatic bouquet which is rich in fruity, floral and mineral notes. The clean and precise palate is coated with silky tannins and lingers well with notes of liquorice and a beautiful minerality.

Coteaux du Languedoc - Montpeyroux Calmel & Joseph Les Crus serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Canette rotie en cocotte, cèpes et olives noires, Caviar d'aubergines, Civet de lapin.
