Heritage du Pic Saint Loup Tour de Pierres
This GSM wine has an explosion of flavors, balanced, with a menthol freshness, silky tannins and aromas of licorice, citrus, spices and garrigue (refers to a type of dry, rocky Mediterranean scrubland, especially in Southern France). Composed of 50% Syrah, about 40% Grenache and around 10% Mourvèdre.
It pairs well with grilled meats and red meats.
-The three brothers at Héritage du Pic Saint Loup farm their steep, rugged vineyards biodynamically in the Languedoc’s coolest, northernmost appellation, where Syrah, Grenache, and a few other cépages convey a perfect duality of plump Mediterranean richness and savory, floral tones recalling more northerly wines. Chewy, vigorous, and refreshing, with notes of black olive, wild herbs, and brambly fruit, the Ravailles’ Tour de Pierres cuvée really does check all the boxes.
