red meat

Its deep color and intense nose of spices, blackcurrant and blackberry charm you from the outset. The palate is full-bodied, dense and fleshy, with a delicate freshness and silky tannins. A perfect accompaniment to gardiane de boeuf or grilled prime rib. A reference vintage full of character.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

In Puissalicon, a pretty little feudal village between sea and mountains, the original wines of Domaine des Capriers are born. The estate stretches from north to south along the Libron River. This gives it a great diversity of terroirs, from the Villafranchian terraces in the north to the pink gravelly marls in the south, via the limestone puechs. Marion and Mathieu Vergnes, a young winemaking sibling enamored of this terroir, have taken over the family estate and produce top-quality wines: les-larmes-d'emma red, a benchmark cuvée full of character, rêve-de-louis red, gourmet and easy-to-drink, the new cuvée octave, with definite potential, and the aromatic, crystalline les-larmes-d'emma rosé. The two whites, larmes-d'emma (100% viognier) and rêve-de-louis, are highly aromatic, well-defined, lively and well-balanced.
