Winemaking Notes: Cinsault, Syrah and Carignan grapes are harvested by hand from 30-year-old vines. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeast. Wine is aged for 6 months in stainless steel. This wine is neither fined nor filtered.

Tasting Notes: Laguzelle is your summer chillable red! It is fresh and easy drinking and lower in alcohol than the typical wines of Minervois in part because harvest is 1-2 weeks before other producers. Light aromatics show on the nose, reminiscent of a fresh breeze over a meadow in France. There are mineral notes along with dried herbs and luscious black fruit. The palate is fresh and plump.
