On the nose, this lovely Terrasses du Larzac displays a beautiful alliance of black fruits, sweet spices, toast and eucalyptus. Power, elegance and finesse on the palate thanks to controlled ageing, highlighting depth and smooth tannins. A red that will work wonders with simmered dishes, but also with chocolate. Delicious young and promising for 10 years!

About the domain :
A family-run wine estate since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long line of 32 generations of winegrowers - a rare feat for the region! The wines of this estate, with their classic imprint, are always easily digestible and harmonious - a classicism that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, does not intend to call into question, but to refine. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to pave the way for renewal. The expressive, easy-to-digest whites combine Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, especially La Baronnie, which matures between two and eight years in bottle. Lansade, less consistent and precise, nonetheless seduces with its greediness.
