Domaine du Meteore Les Leonides 2019 from Faugeres

A vibrant ruby colour, blackcurrant bud on the nose with thyme flower, mandarin and a touch of balsamic. Fresh and crisp in the mouth, silky tannins and a fruity long finish which is dense, meaty and grippy. Certified organic. 
 
Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault, ABV 13.5 %. 
 
Domaine du Meteore is situated in the north of the Faugeres appellation, in the Languedoc, France. It is named after a 300 meter wide meteor which struck the hillside 10,000 years ago making a huge crater which the vines now grow in and around. The domaine benefits from a high altitude and schist soils which is rare in the region and gives the wines extra freshness and minerality.
