Luc Baudet, Clos des Centenaires Grenache Vieilles Vignes, France, 2017, 750ml

Clos des Centenaires Grenache Old Vines is a delicious wine with notes of cooked fruits (raspberry, cherry) and pepper. This wine presents a beautiful complexity with supple and greedy tannins. The finish is suave with aromas of roasted hazelnuts.

I loved the 2016 IGP Pays d’Oc Grenache Vieilles Vignes and it’s one of the gems in the lineup. Deep ruby/purple coloured, medium to full-bodied, forward, and beautifully textured, it offeres up lots of ripe and black fruits, lavender, oragne zest, and peppery garrigue-like aromas and flavours. Drink this sexy, incredibly charming and hedonistic wine over the comign 4-5 years.
