Domaine Pujol, Minervois, Grande Reserve, 2021

A well-rounded and dense Minervois

Complex nose of black fruits and fine vanilla spices. A well rounded palate evolving towards a promising structure with delicious density. The aromatic length is interesting and suave.

• Blend of 60% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 10% Carignan, 10% Cinsault

Food Pairing: Serve with a homemade cassoulet with rich juices, or a duck with turnips. Will also perfectly partner an grilled steak or a leg of lamb | Serve at 16 / 18°C.

Cellaring: Delicious now

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Traditional fermentation with maceration for five weeks of selected and sorted grapes. Gentle pumping over and aeration during the fermentation phase. Cap punching and moderate extraction.
