Clos de L’Amandaie, AOP Grés de Montpellier, Amandaie Rouge, 2018
Only red wine is permitted in the AOP Grés de Montpellier. This is a blend of 33% Grenache 33% Syrah, 25% Carignan and 9% Cinsault. The Syrah spends time in old oak barrels whilst the rest of the blend is left in concrete. Very classic notes of garrigue and red fruit dominate the nose.
