L’Amourette’s originality lies in its blend, which was designed to stand out from the classic blend (Grenache, Syrah, Carignan). This release is made from a blend of 60 % Mouvèdre and 40% Grenache Noir. The average age of the vines is at least 30 years old. L’Amourette is the name of a grass also known as Maxima Briza, once found in the vineyards.

Tasting Notes from the Producer
Flavour
A great nose of spiced red and black fruits as well as notes of sandalwood, peppery garrigue, herbes de Provence, and some loamy, chalky minerality. Beautiful on the palate as well, with medium to full-bodied richness, it's balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish.

FAQs
Dark chocolate pairs best with wines that have the structural intensity to match its bitter cocoa and tannin character without being overwhelmed. Fortified wines are the strongest match: aged Tawny Port with its dried fig, rancio, and roasted nut character is the classic pairing. Banyuls from the Roussillon, a naturally sweet Grenache based wine, is the benchmark French equivalent. A full bodied, fruit forward red such as Zinfandel or Amarone can also work, where the ripe dark fruit and spice complement the chocolate.
Many wines use animal derived fining agents during production to clarify and stabilise the liquid before bottling. Common fining agents include isinglass (derived from fish swim bladders), gelatine (bovine or porcine), casein (milk protein), and egg whites (albumin). These are added to bind suspended particles and removed before bottling, but trace quantities may remain. Vegan wines use alternatives including bentonite clay, activated carbon, or pea protein. Checking the Barnivore database or looking for a vegan certification on the label is the most reliable approach.
