🏰 The 2021 Anne Gros et Jean-Paul Tollot Minervois Les Carretals is a 【captivating red blend, marrying Burgundian savoir-faire with the warm soul of Southern France】. From old vines, some over 100 years old, Anne Gros affectionately calls this her 'Richebourg of the south'. This wine boasts a deep, intense red color and a remarkably floral nose with spicy and mature notes, alongside aromas of ripe red fruit. The palate is full and generous, with silky tannins and lovely freshness, maintaining a firm and tight structure, offering flavors of cassis, licorice, violets, black raspberries, baking spices, and ripe plums. It culminates in a long and persistent finish.
🍴 This age-worthy Minervois is an excellent partner for grilled meats, rich red meats, and aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with roast beef with jus and lamb with fresh herbs.
🥂 Ideal for convivial moments and enhancing meals, this wine is perfect for those who appreciate a red blend with both elegance and a profound sense of place. Its complexity and structure make it suitable for cellaring.
