Chateau Maris - Les Planels Syrah Minervois Cru La Livinière 2017 (750ml)
A bouquet of aromas already complex with some notes of sautéed black cherries, black currants, licorice, pepper and cured meats. Deep purple color. Rich, full-bodied, yet elegant and seamless, with an awesome texture with integrated acidity and a beautiful elegance about it that keeps you coming back to the glass. Screaming for a hanger steak or a rack of lamb.
Blend: 95% Syrah, 5% Grenache

Wild strawberry, mulberry, rhubarb and cinnamon on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with plush tannins. Round and layered with balance and freshness. Juicy, with a core of fruit and a flavorful finish. A blend of syrah and grenache. From biodynamically grown grapes. with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
