GRAPE VARIETIES: 20-year-old Red Grenache vines (80%), old Carignan (10%) and Syrah (10%).
Clean and well defined in style, combining an opulent, floral nose with a bright and vivacious palate, along with an enticing hint of spice.
Color: cherry, violet edge.
Aroma: red fruit, dried herbs.
Mouth: fruity, tasty, balanced.
The most approachable of the reds is the young Les Crestes, produced with fruit from their younger vines. The fact that this is mostly Garnacha also adds to the (relative) lightness and drinkability in a coolish year like 2018, and it has more red fruit and fantastic freshness, with fine tannins and very integrated oak.
