L'Hydre Du Lac AOP Côtes du Roussillon 2019
L'Hydre du Lac is a fabulous and unique Syrah-Grenache blend made without the addition of sulfites. The deep garnet color of this wine reveals an aromatic bouquet of sweet spices, red fruits, and licorice that extends gracefully to the palate, harmoniously accompanied by notes of stone fruit and silky tannins. The organically farmed vineyard for L'Hydre du Lac is located in Le Soler on chalky clay soil with river pebbles. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented in vats. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 6 months in French and American oak barrels before bottling. This wine is unfiltered, and no sulfites are added during the winemaking process. Aging Potential: Drink now or age until 2028.
