Mas de Cynanque
Cuvée Plein Grès, 2018

 

Saint-Chinian

€19.50 €23.50

750ml Bottle

Abundance of ripe blackberry, cherry with hints of cocoa. The palate is super silky displaying ripe fruits and liquorice. Despite the alcohol level the wine is fresh on the palate and extremely balanced - this is definitely not jammy nor heavy. Exuding finesse, elegance and with great concentration this red is a pure sunshine in a bottle.

This is a very very delicious wine produced by Violaine and Xavier de Franssu. The appellation Saint-Chinian is located just a few kilometres from Béziers.
