Jeb Dunnuck ( Birte Jantze) 93 pts! Pure Grenache Noir aged 14 months in stainless steel tanks, 2023 Pays d’Hérault Côtes du Brian Le Grenache 8 elegantly plays on purity of expression with its aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry, and red pepper. Full-bodied, delicious, supple, and well-balanced, its dense, silky tannins create a gentle mouthfeel, and its long finish fades to notes of spice and garrigue. This generous, gastronomic red is already now superb to enjoy. Drink 2025-2032.<!--more-->Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot, two Burgundy winemakers with 30 years of experience, have combined their expertise in the beautiful terroirs of Cazelles in Minervois. They cultivate 18 hectares of vineyards, producing 10 wines, many of which are single-varietal and single-vineyard, applying Burgundian methods in the heart of Languedoc. This does not prevent them from also producing great blends based on the region's signature grape varieties. These wines are classic beauties from the south and should not be missed. (Drink between 2025 - 2032)
