Comprising Syrah and Grenache.
Hand-harvested, totally destemmed and sorted out. Fermentations take place in small concrete tanks. Maceration lasts between 4 and 5 weeks according to tasting. The wine is aged from 16 to 20 months only in concrete tanks.
Garnet-red, dense, limpid and brilliant, bluish purple lights.
Very aromatic on black fruit aromas, very ripe, complex (roasting notes and noble leather). The woody aromas are discreet and well-integrated (spices).
The attack is ample and silky. The wine is powerful and concentrated presenting mild tannins. One notices aromas of ripe fruits, leather and roasting notes.
Drink it with lamb and eggplant and pepper. Agly Brothers wil age easily 15 years.
The current vintage is the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages and it's the same blend as the 2016, with 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache. This cuvee comes all from Gneiss (pronounced “nice”) soils, was completely destemmed and spent 18 months in concrete tanks. It’s a sensational 2015 that offers notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, chocolate, licorice and roasted herbs. Rich, full-bodied, unctuous and downright sexy, with moderate acidity and building tannin, drink this powerhouse beauty anytime over the coming 5-7 years or more. Tasted: Apr 2017; Drink: 2017-2025
