Mas Belles Eaux Carmin 2023
Mas Belles Eaux Carmin is the flagship cuvee of the estate, a rich and expressive red from the Languedoc Pezenas appellation in southern France. Crafted from a Syrah-led blend with Grenache Noir, it is a wine of real depth, elegance, and character that reflects the very best of this prestigious terroir. Why You'll Love It Pezenas is one of the Languedoc's most exciting appellations, producing wines of genuine complexity and age-worthiness from its distinctive limestone and clay soils. Carmin is the jewel in the Mas Belles Eaux crown, made from one of the estate's finest Syrah plots and crafted with the same care and precision you would expect from a wine at twice the price. This is southern France at its most refined. Vineyard & Production The blend is built around 75% Syrah from a single prestigious plot, complemented by 25% Grenache Noir. Grapes are carefully selected and vinified to preserve fruit purity and natural structure, before gentle maturation in oak to integrate subtle toasty nuances and add layers of complexity. The result is a wine that is both powerful and polished. Tasting Notes Deep red with ruby highlights. The nose is intense and inviting, with aromas of blackberry, dark spice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is rich and fruity with notes of sweet spice and a delicate toasted character. Silky tannins provide structure and elegance, while a gentle persistence and long finish complete the picture. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for grilled and roasted meats, slow-cooked lamb, hearty Mediterranean stews, and mature hard cheeses. Also excellent alongside duck confit or a well-aged charcuterie board. The Blend 75% Syrah, 25% Grenache Noir
Rully Rouge, L'Hermitage, Domaine Chanzy 2003
Rully sits in the southern reaches of the Côte Chalonnaise, a village that has long punched above its weight for value-conscious Burgundy lovers. Domaine Chanzy's L'Hermitage comes from a single vineyard site and is made in a style that leans into Pinot Noir's quieter, more contemplative register rather than its show-stopping side. The 2003 vintage — that legendary, scorching summer across France — adds an interesting wrinkle: this is a warmer, riper expression of Rully than you'd usually expect, with the fruit carrying a dried, almost confited edge alongside the more typical Côte Chalonnaise earthiness. At over twenty years old, we'd approach this with curiosity rather than expectation of fresh fruit. It's a wine for an intimate Tuesday dinner rather than a grand occasion, best enjoyed now before the fruit recedes further.
