2007 Ch. Ricardelle, La Clape, Coteaux de Languedoc

Sand, clay, gravel and chalk make up the complex tapestry of terroir at Château Ricardelle; a complexity redoubled by an assemblage which blends Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. The wine captures a warming Mediterranean charm, a dark-berried fruit character and an attractive aromatic charm that manages to be both subtle and beguiling.
