importer notes Produced from Colombard and Picpoul grapes planted on ancient terraces called ‘Costières’ - overlooking the Thau lagoon and the Mediterranean sea. Intense aromas of citrus fruit, ripe exotic fruit and fresh verbena. Ample, generous and well-balanced on the palate with refreshing lemon and litchi flavors.

producer notes - The first of four Minervois cuvées, this one brought up in tank. A terrific buy for a true vin de terroir. In this wine is all the garrigue underbrush of the high Minervois, laced with high-toned blueberry notes and underpinned by Carignan's tarry black notes. Yearly production averages 3,300 cases. Even split Carignan and Grenache, 5% Syrah.

87 points Wine Enthusiast - From the village of Cruet, this wine is intensely refreshing and fruity. Pure citrus flavors shine through the crisp texture and give great lift and freshness at the end. Drink now. Famille Tiollier

This is fruity and delicious, although it doesn’t hold together totally.' A crimson robe, the nose of subtle raspberry, rhubarb, spicy and tobacco aromas. In the mouth the elegant and silky tannins bring a very feminine...

The palate offers more of the same, with medium acidity and moderate tannins to frame and structure the ripe black-fruit tones. Touches of coffee, leather and licorice grace the medium-length finish." The...
