THE CUVÉE

Bosc Negre, AOP Languedoc red

Bosc Negre is a Puech-Haut red in the AOP Languedoc, 2021 vintage. It blends Mourvèdre and Grenache, on clay-limestone soil with pebbles rolled by the Rhône in the Quaternary. The Puech-Haut terroir, north-east of Montpellier, lies between 50 and 150 metres above sea level, under the influence of the maritime climate.

Its colour is dark, with garnet glints. The nose sets the tone: elegant and complex, with notes of vanilla and black fruit. The palate has personality: the oak, powerful but well integrated, blends with menthol and spice aromas.

Serve it between 15 and 17 °C with game, a confit leg of lamb or a beef bourguignon. It is 15.5% ABV and can be kept for 10 years.

KNOW-HOW

Mourvèdre aged 16 months in new barrels

Each grape variety follows its own path. The Mourvèdre is aged for 16 months in new barrels, while the Grenache is made traditionally in vats. New oak slowly gives the wine its tannins and vanillin, found in the vanilla notes on the nose.

FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS

Beef bourguignon

Bosc Negre is a wonderful match for a beef bourguignon. Its powerful but well-integrated oak and spice aromas complement slow-cooked meat.
