2006 Domaine d'Aupilhac, Les Cocalières, Coteaux du Languedoc

"Dom. D'Aupilhac is a fantastic and acclaimed organic property located in the enclave of Montpeyroux, 36 km to the north of Montpellier. The blend, since you asked, is made up of 32% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 28% Carignan, 15% Grenache and 5% Cinsault; the assemblage skilfully aged for 20 months in barrique. The relative new-comers to the Languedoc vinous landscape, Syrah and Mourvèdre, lend, respectively, ripe blackberry fruit and a savoury depth; their juxtaposition here is deeply satisfying, with mineral length and finely-wrought tannins completing the picture."
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Montpeyroux combination of relative altitude, limestone soils and benevolent climate have made it one of the most acclaimed vineyards in the whole of the Languedoc.
