Description

What an impressive tasting blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. François Teisserenc, the winemaker of Domaine de l'Arjolle, combines the ripeness of the grapes with a modified vinification technique, which extracts less, but ripe and soft tannins.

The maturation also takes place partly in oak and partly in concrete tanks, which are increasingly preferred over stainless steel. If you sometimes find red Bordeaux a bit too rough and drying in taste, try this full, smooth blend of cabernet and syrah with its beautiful, deep red color.

The quality is exceptionally high for a modest price. Arjolle convincingly shows that the Languedoc can excel in making luxury red wines with beautiful ripe flavors. Very tempting.
