Les Vignes Oubliées : Terrasses du Larzac 2023

A little reserved on the nose, brooding with notes of fresh soil, violets and berries. There's a cool mineral core here, a stony hardness that needs time to crack open. A subtle creamy note on the finish. Give this two or three years to reveal its aromatic potential.

The 2023 Terrasses Du Larzac, a blend predominantly of Grenache Noir with Syrah and Carignan, was—unconventionally—aged in a cave, in large barrels. Quite complex and multi-layered, it shows beautiful black fruit, notes of garrigue, cumin, anise, black tea, and bergamot. Precise, delicate, succulent, and fairly long, with a calm energy, it exhales on the finish and shows great potential. Drink 2025–2032.
