Calmel & Joseph La Planette
A rich, complex, and concentrated blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre that really showcases the Languedoc region. Full-bodied, with layered flavours of fruits, spices, and herbs. In the mouth, it is supple and smooth with fine tannins, perfectly balanced between power and natural freshness. The finish offers notes of garrigue, fennel, and black fruit. A wine of character and elegance, with superb ageing potential.
