Domaine Ferrandiere Rouge Coteaux de Miramont 2015
l'Aude, Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceDomaine Ferrandiere is part of the Paul Mas stable of wineries headed by Jean Claude Mas. Ferrandiere is in the Coteaux du Miramont IGP between Carcassonne and Narbonne. The vineyard is an old maritime lagoon that is flooded every year to eliminate the excessive salt content. The good news is due to the salt, the vineyard escaped the ravages of phylloxera in the beginning of the 20th century, giving it an authenticity those vines grown on American rootstock cannot boast. The blend is a mix of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and marselan that comes off very fresh on the nose. The palate is equally fresh and spicy, with ripe tannins underpinning lively red and black fruits. Grilled meat or even chicken works here. Good vintage too.Tasted: 13 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $21.99 | 750ml | estimated retail |
