December 20, 2011 - I was very curious to taste this first shot. The wine is assembled of 95% Mourvedre, 4% Grenache and 1% different white varietals. Expecting a very strong, mouth-closing, difficult-to-understand wine, I could not have been more wrong. This pearl is the Mourvedre analogue of the Sanctus Sanctorum. Its freshness opens the roads to mint, pepper and provencal herbs while being joined by a velvety structure that undermine any doubt on this wine’s femininity. It is very provocative; however, this wine is so seductive that it will open the valve to a new wave in Mourverdre-based wine making.
Kudos to the Maurel Brothers, Philippe Cambie, and Manfred Krankl.1 person found this helpful 8,813 views
