2018 Les Amandiers, AOP Minervois la Liviniere, Château Maris
Minervois, Languedoc, France
Perhaps the world’s greenest wine project, Château Maris is located within the AOP Minervois La Livinière in the heart of the Languedoc, where the Mediterranean sea and the Pyrenees mountains come together. Winemaker Robert Eden is strongly committed to sustainable agriculture and follows organic and biodynamic principles.
The 2018 Les Amandiers is made with the grapes coming from a single parcel of just one hectare from some of the estate's oldest vines in La Livinière.
This exceptional vintage has a very limited yield. Made predominantly with Syrah grapes, this wine offers a wonderful bouquet of black fruit, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas, with notes of white flowers, wet rock and liquorice. The mouthfeel is full, powerful, and caressing. It's very velvety tannic structure balances its fruity richness and generous body, combining to give a lingering voluptuousness. Ageing potential: 10 -12 years
