Saint Jean du Barroux 2016 Ventoux Rouge ‘L’Argile’
Tasting Note
The L’Argile is a stunning blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 5% Carignan and 5% Cinsault that’s aged all in tank. Finesse-driven and elegant, with perfumed aromas of kirsch and sweet black raspberries, licorice and dried flowers (rose petal), this perfectly balanced, harmonious red delivers a medium to full-bodied, seamless texture, fine tannin and building richness that emerges on the finish. Far from over the top, it shines for its balance and energetic feel much more than sheer richness and power.
