DESCRIPTION
From the Domaine Mas de Lavail, this Pays d’OC wine is made up of 80% Grenache Noir and 20% Mourvèdre grapes. It is hand-picked and vinified in oak barrels. Ego's bouquet is filled with tart cherries and sweet spices. Here we've got a fine mix of soft tanins and a rich, full-bodied finish on your tongue. This wine pairs wonderfully with roasts, steak and sauce-heavy dishes.
REGION
Languedoc-Roussillon
France
Languedoc-Roussillon is one of France's largest wine-growing regions, situated on the border with Spain. Its vast size is matched by a remarkable diversity of soils and terroirs, all bathed in a warm, sunny Mediterranean climate that is particularly favorable to vine-growing. This richness is also reflected in the grape varieties grown, ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Carignan for the reds, or Grenache Blanc to Bourboulenc for the whites, but Roussillon in particular is also distinguished by a historic and deeply local specialty: vins doux naturels (VDN). Made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Macabeu or Muscat, these wines are mutated with alcohol during fermentation to retain some of their natural sugars. Emblematic appellations such as Banyuls, Maury, Rivesaltes and Muscat de Rivesaltes offer an incredible range of styles, from the fruitiest to the most oxidative, perfect as aperitifs or with cheeses and desserts.
Recommended for you:
A frank and structured wine, which I can easily see with grilled lamb.
