Château des Crès RicardsOenothera
About this product
This Estate was created in 1960, at the place known as Crès Ricards, in the village of Ceyras. In 2010 Jean-Claude Mas acquired the 27 ha (69 acres) belonging to the Château, extending the estate to 42 ha in 2013. He was fascinated by the fantastic terroir of the Terrasses du Larzac, which produces silky wines with intense flavors. At the foot of Mont Baudile, 35 km to the west of Montpellier, this vineyard offers a unique geography. Yields are low because of the strict grape selection and carbonic maceration is used to produce generous wines. Made from 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache and matured in new and older French oak for 10 months. The wine is at once full bodied and fresh, with notes of intense black currant, black cherry and mocha gliding to a silky, rich finish.

Special sites in the Languedoc region in the south of France produce some of the best value reds in the world. Old, low yielding Syrah and Grenache vines planted on stoney ground have produced a full bodied, rich and generously flavoured wine, packed full of complexity and interest. Fresh and elegant dark fruit, toasted dark spices, tobacco and velvety, earthy tannins are in perfect harmony. A wine of this calibre from a more glamorous locale would cost twice as much. Enjoy!
