Domaine Peyre Rose - Coteaux du Languedoc - Clos des Cistes - Rouge - 2008

Wine:

With a nose marked by notes of clove and nutmeg, the 2008 red Coteaux du Languedoc Clos des Cistes is a rich wine with velvety tannins. Produced on the highest part of the estate, on very hard stony soils, this wine always shows an extraordinary freshness. The finish is bewitching and of incredible persistence, with notes of mocha, cocoa, licorice, tobacco, and spices. The wine will be released from the estate's cellars in the spring of 2023. Rated 94/100 RVF and 94/100 Bettane+Desseauve.

From now on and more for enthusiasts

An icon of the Languedoc region, Peyre Rose is, first and foremost, the non-conformist work of Marlene Soria. Created at the beginning of the 90s with modest ambitions, the estate quickly became an icon, the reference of a still nascent Languedoc vineyard eager to bring its great wines to the international scene.

Adulated by Robert Parker, Peyre Rose swiftly caught the attention of critics and wine lovers alike. Forever in demand, his wines are an inspiration, models of temperance and expectation, bearing the stigma of time, revealed by measured and patient maturation and exemplary organic farming.

The three reds (Belle Léone, formerly Syrah Léone, Les Cistes, formerly Clos des Cistes and Marlène n°3), which are predominantly Syrah, full-bodied and energetic at birth, thus take on the patina of time with unparalleled grace, brilliantly transcending the paradox between a delicate, perfumed aroma and the sublime concentration of their origin. Endowed with captivating finales, they are great wines for aging, marketed by the estate after long years of evolution in the cellar.
