Lou Coucardié Red 2017

Here we’re exploring new territories with the hope of finding the most intimate expression of our terroir. If last year I swore that 2016 was for me the best vintage of my career, my sense is that 2017 might just be even better, even for a tiny harvest: intense color, beautifully fresh fruit, ample mouthfeel, and fine grained tannins -- all with a resolutely hedonistic signature.

Appearance

Its dark color, almost black, announces a wine of great concentration

Nose

Powerful and extremely complex, it displays a wide array of aromas such as dark berries, spices, eucalyptus and vanilla welded in great harmony.

Taste

Rich and velvety, without being heavy, this wine pulls its finish in an aerial display of fresh fruits and ripe tannins.
