Vin de France (anciennement Coteaux du Languedoc) Domaine Peyre Rose Les Cistes Marlène Soria 2005

The wine

Clos des Cistes is an original and complex cuvée suitable for excellent aging. The nose is both powerful and refined, evoking aromas of garrigue, mocha and prune. The palate is well balanced, of impressive depth, with concentration, silky tannins and a certain freshness. To achieve this, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache were grown biodynamically. The wine has been aged for several years in the cellar.

About the Producer Peyre Rose

Domaine Peyre Rose was created in the early 1990s by Marlène Soria, on the slopes of Saint-Pargoire between Béziers and Montpellier. The 25-hectare domain is planted mainly with red grapes (70% Syrah, then Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Carignan), with two hectares of white (50% Rolle, 40% Roussanne, and various other varieties including Viognier). The domain is certified for organic cultivation, and produces characteristic wines with great concentration and a very long élevage (and an additional bottle ageing before sale). The production is high in quality but limited in quantity, and therefore highly sought after by connoisseurs!
