Les Magnarelles Red 2022
AOP Languedoc
We have named this cuvée ‘Les Magnarelles’, after the women who in former times were responsible for raising the silkworm, of vital importance to the success of the estate.
‘Very clear, lifted, fragrant nose. Darjeeling tea leaves and dark-red cherries and blackberries. Translucent. Tannins rippling in and through
and out and around like silk ribbons. Fruit like summer midnight in anorchard, sweet and heady. Luminous finish.’ – Tamlyn Currin of Jancis Robinson – 17/20
