A little gem from the Roussillon, one of the most under-rated regions in France, this is a spicy, honest, wild herb-scented cuvée of Syrah and 20% each of Carignan and Grenache. Aromas of thyme, rosemary and pine needles lead you into a palate of plum, bramble and red berries, complemented by savoury, sinewy tannins and an appealing bitter twist.
