Peyre Rose Coteaux du Languedoc Syrah Leone 2009

A stellar domaine from the Languedoc! I almost developed a crush on Marlene Soria after trying out her wines for the first time - these are wines with longevity and vivacity as Marlene devotes an immense effort to reflect the true terroir of the Languedoc with organic practices, a non-interventionalist approach, long fermentations and a minimum of 10 years of elevage. As such, her wines are released sporadically only in years she considers is right.

A laudable Syrah with a small amount of Mourvedre. Punchy nose of dark fruits, leather and sweet spice notes.  Substantial palate with a velvety tannin where the texture is supported by striking notes of perfumes.
