Tautavel Vingrau – Côtes du Roussillon Villages Silex

Silex has a radiant hue of red color. On the nose, it has an aroma of soft spices. It also has an intense flavour in the mouth. A powerful and sophisticated wine to savour with game and best serve with strong cheeses. Named for the unique clay and limestone soil called silex, the Tautavel Vingrau Silex is the top bottling of the Les Vignerons de Tautavel Vingrau co-op. Impressive in every way, it is made from 60% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah, and 10% Carignan from low-yielding 50-year-old vines. Ripe and plush, yet artfully restrained and intricately textured, it offers a captivating mélange of plummy red and black fruit flavors, nuanced with classic silex notes of crushed stone, minerality, black pepper, and Provençal herbs. Highly enjoyable now with grilled steak and chops, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully over the next three to five years
