Les Hauts de Montfort 'Les Megalithes' 2010, Minervois, France 14.5%

Renowned winemaker Stephane Vedeau is a great believer in growing vines at altitude, where the cooler conditions lead to wines where ripeness is allied to elegance and complexity. His quest for old vines has led him to Les Hauts de Montfort high up in the Minervois. Here ancient Grenache vines grew alongside Syrah and even older Carignan. Following hand-picking and traditional fermentation the wine was left un-oaked to allow the pure fruit flavours to show through. Deep, youthful colour and ripe cherry, liquorice and damson aromas. Rich bramble fruit flavours are balanced by a lovely mineral freshness and a spicy aromatic finish with just a touch of tannin. Bottled unfiltered to retain all the sun-filled flavours, this wine will generate sediment if cellared.
