Clos Bagatelle
Donnadieu, Cuvee Mathieu et Marie 2010

AOC Saint Chinian

A super wine made from Syrah, Grenache and Carignan that is full of complex red fruit flavours, mint, minerality, and a touch of balsamic on the nose and in the mouth. The tannins are beautiful, soft yrt rich and smooth, the balance is spot on and the length impressive. Lovely stuff!
