Ch. L'Argentier 2020 Vieilles Vignes de Cinsault

Cinsault is one of those overlooked grapes most usually consigned to oblivion as rosé. In the skilled hands of the Jourdans, however, it proves to be a wine of irresistible charm. The color is light, to be sure, but the heady strawberry scent is beguiling and the 40 year-old vines lend to the palate a startling intensity of sweet fruit flavour, cloaked in the gentlest imaginable veil of silk. It is hard to imagine anyone disliking such a pleasing wine, especially in a fruit-rich vintage like 2019.

Notes from the Producer: The vineyard has been Organic since 2019 with final certification in 2022. The wine has an aroma of crushed cherries and menthol on the finish. Fruit-forward with a perception of warm spices. Best enjoyed fresh and ideal with meats, chicken, lamb and spicy dishes.
