Château Maris Description

Well Crafted

The winding road leading to the plots of Syrah vines located on the terraces at the foot of La Livinière gave its name to this expressive vintage with aromas of black fruits and silky tannins. A singular harmony, with echoes of the surrounding heath. La Touge brings out Life, it is a vintage very representative of biodynamics with a touch of mineral.

Notes of black fruits, blackcurrant. Inky purple on the glass. La Touge has a full-bodied richness, a beautifully integrated acidity, ripe tannins and no hard edges. It is mellow and sleek, with juicy tannins.

Blend: 60% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 5% Carignan

A medium-bodied red with notes of dark berries, spiced cherries, black pepper and some roasted meat. Fine tannins with a spicy kick to the palate. Velvety texture with plenty of fruits and spices mingling with herbs in the flavorful finish. Syrah and grenache. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

Smoky and meaty, with black fruit ribboned with bacon fat, charred garrigue and singed sandalwood. Silky yet vibrant on the palate, with good mineral depth, spices and polished tannins lining the lengthy finish. Tasty and well-made. Syrah and Grenache. Drink now through 2030. 5,000 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.

Based on 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache, the 2020 Syrah La Touge has a pretty, juicy, up-front, and medium-bodied style as well as classic Minervois elegance. With complex notes of mulberries, new leather, peppery garrigue, and dried flowers, it's drinking nicely today yet should easily evolve for 4-6 years. It's a hidden little gem of a Syrah from the Languedoc.
