For the Cotes de Thau, the grapes are sourced from vineyards cultivated near to Lake Thau, set in a formerly volcanic region just inland from the sea. This has a particular micro-climate – as the proximity of the water has a moderating effect on the typically Mediterranean temperatures, allowing optimal ripening whilst retaining fresh acidity.
This luscious and textural blend is very much a food wine; rich currant flavours provided by Grenache and tangy raspberry from Cinsault before a dry and fresh finish. Elegant and very moreish!
