Château La Lieue Coteaux Varois en Provence 2015

Dark cherry red color. Nose of dark berries, spices, earth and herbal nose all in a fresh way. This got strenght on the palate with a good chewyness, but the silky moutfeel balance all that. Flavors are of the same profile as on the nose, quite enjoyable and helps making you want to pout yourself another glass! To pair with burgers of grilled meat dishes. Good+ (88)

Made of 35% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 15% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 15% Carignan. Aged on lees in concrete tanks. Certified Organic. Alcohol level of 14%

Dark and deep purple color. Nose of black berries, spices, herbs, it’s bright, deep and mysterious. Greatly structured on the palate, it is quite powerful at this stage. Flavors of spicy black berries with small berry jam and a mineral touch on the finish. This can’t hide the fact that it comes from a warm climate area, but that doesn’t lower its great ageing potential as this will be amazing after some years in the cellar. Very good+ (90

Watermelon juice color. Fine and subtle nose of red fruits with citrus fruit and salty notes. Tastier on the palate, it charms! Far from being a sugary rosé, it’s even better with grilled dishes. Serious, deep with red berry flavors, roses, it’s salty with just a touch of aromatic herbs and spices. Came in late in my summer, otherwise I would’ve had many bottles of this. Very good+ (90)

Red cherry color. Nose of mixed aromas of fruit, pepper, earth and herbs. Soft and sappy with its berry falvors, aromatic herbs and spices. Good acidity level and the finish is lasting more than most wines from that price range. An… organic deal! Good+ (88)
