Zazou'

Mourvèdre, Carignan, Languedoc, France

We heard your call for a full and rich red, and this is our answer. Biodynamic winemakers Marie and Luc Michel’s homestead is a breath taking, untamed oasis, existing harmoniously with oak trees, pines, palms, cacti and herbs. A blend of (80%) tannic and meaty mourvèdre, with (20%) sweetly-spiced and smokey carignan from 45-70 year old, goblet and bush-trained vines on mineral lavishing limestone/clay soils. Destemmed and macerated for 10 days to extract prominent tannins, a red after your own heartstrings. Reflecting the tepid, greenery of the landscape with violets, opening blossoms, bright blackberry, liquorice strand, mortar and pestle remnants, gravel & graphite. Enjoy while building your first snow-person of the season, and sending a picture to the weather network (maybe you’ll win a prize!).
