Château Lauriga Cuvée Jean 2013
Côtes du Roussillon, Roussillon, Sud de France, FrancePaul Mas has his stylings written all over this syrah from the south of France. The region is windswept by the Tramontane, the vineyard planted on sandy, free-draining soils typical of the Aspres region. Part of the Lauriga vineyard is planted on very old terraces where the soils are full of pudding stones which heat up quickly in the sun and have always been valued by winemakers throughout the generations. The diversity of soils sings through the wine. The nose is an enticing mix of blueberry and juicy black fruits mixed with toast and spice. The textures are soft and fat, cut with pepper and silky soft tannins. Warm yet balanced, with a long spicy finish. Try this with lamb chops or a beef stir fry. Impressive for the price.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $30.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
