l’Edre Carrément Rouge 2012

 

SKU: EDRE012215-1 Categories: , , , Product ID: 76647
Producer: Domaine de l’Edre

Description

Jacques Castany and Pascal Dieunidou are two wine fanatics, farming inherited vines part-time in the village of Vingrau (Roussillon). With limited acreage, average yields of just 1.05 tons/acre, and consistently stellar press, the wines are naturally in short supply, though there are plans to slowly increase production to meet demand.

Tasting Notes: Incredibly intense, layered, dark fruit aromas of plums, cassis and black cherry on the nose, with light spiciness and undertones of herbs and minerals. Juicy, yet firm and well-structured on the palate.

Serve With: Pair with grilled lamb, game, or prime cuts of beef.
