Our opinion on the vintage

On the nose, this wine reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruit mingled with spicy and subtly woody nuances. On the palate, it unfolds with an enveloping richness, revealing concentrated flavors of blackberry and black pepper, enhanced by notes of licorice and forest floor. The texture is silky, offering a beautiful roundness, while fine tannins provide a solid structure. The finish is long and elegant, marked by a pleasant freshness. Perfect to accompany sophisticated dishes such as a fillet of lamb or a fillet of red mullet.

Domaine Le Conte Des Floris

Languedoc | France

Daniel Le Conte des Floris cultivates Grenache, Carignan, and Terret on rare basaltic soils in the Languedoc. The wines possess a distinctive character: precise fruit, sustained tension, and delicate tannins. Aging in demi-muids refines the texture without adding weight. These wines often reveal themselves to be more elegant than those from other Pézenas appellations, with a finesse that is surprising for the region.
