The fruit recalls savory plums and baked cherries. It almost feels like a cheat: getting to drink a wine with the desirable qualities of long cellaring, but in its immediate, current release.
This wine is full of fresh Grenache fruit, beautifully perfumed, with a refined and elegant finish.
Serve this one cool, from a carafe, with a plain old burger—generously seasoned with herbes de Provence.
The complexity and depth of this wine is driven by the 60-80 year old Grenache vines reaching deep down into the clay and limestone soils.
La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on a graceful and lively frame.
At once similarly saline and nutty as vin jaune or sherry, but also singular and standalone in its notes of watermelon flesh and rind.
A thoroughbred of pure Grenache, this unbridled rouge is fresh and lithe, teeming with juicy dark fruit and ample goût de terroir.
April Adventures Club ~ This is about as quaffable as the region’s rouges get.
