LES PETITES MISES
Les Petites Mises Rouge 2018
Hérault, France
A blend of Carignan, Syrah and a touch of Macabeu from clay and limestone soils. This was their first ever cuvée, from which the domain has now taken its name. A true field blend, the three varieties are picked, destemmed and fermented together on their skins for a month, before being pressed off to glass demijohns to rest for eighteen months. The fruit here is a little deeper and darker, with black fruits, firm tannins and a herbaceous character that adds real intrigue.
