French wine | Red | 2024

A blend of Mourvèdre (90%) and Syrah (10%), grown on clay-limestone soil in Félines-Minervois, this organically produced Vin de France is vinified without aging in wood. Hand-harvested grapes, destemming, temperature-controlled fermentation, and a short vatting period enhance its intense fruitiness. The style is dense, round, and silky, supported by a rich, structured body, with lovely freshness.

Our take on this vintage

The color is dark, a deep purple. On the nose, a pure sensation of ripe fruit: damson and blackberry, accented by fresh spices and a subtle floral note. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and luscious, with a velvety texture that envelops the palate. The tannins are appealingly silky and smooth, supporting a rich, indulgent body. The finish, fruity and spicy, lingers with notes of cocoa and licorice, offering real depth without heaviness. A Languedoc wine that is straightforward in its honesty, rich in pleasure and sincerity.

Languedoc | France

Syrah dominates here without overshadowing the rest: in the Minervois, Michel Escande has patiently developed a style that is full-bodied yet never heavy. The old vines, rooted in the limestone hillsides, yield juices with a tight structure, consistent depth, and an unexpected freshness. Extended aging refines the contours while preserving a natural spicy character. In short, the winery embodies a certain Languedoc classicism—but a lively, thoughtful classicism focused on precision rather than raw power.
