I very much like the way the flavors do a slow build from the mid-palate onto the harmonious finish and overall this is a complete wine with class and breed to burn

all wrapped in a bitter lemon-suffused finish

and the ideal companion to a roast chicken

The fruit was then allowed to ferment with 100% native yeast in small open-top fermentors for two weeks

Domaine d'Aupilhac, Coteaux du Languedoc, Montpeyroux 2013 Sonoma 98+ (JD) (8/2013) 98 points90 Jeb Dunnuck WA. Starting with the 2013 Languedoc Montpeyroux dAupilhac, this medium to full bodied blend of Mourvdre, Syrah, Carignan and Grenache offers ample black and blue fruits, damp earth and peppery herbs in a pure, mouth filling, rounded style. Mostly destemmed and aged 11 months by variety in demi muids, followed by 11 more months blended together in foudre, it should keep nicely through 2023. Apr 27, 2016
