Description
Le Grand Noir Les Réserves Red Blend AOP Languedoc
The richest and most complex red wine in the Le Grand Noir range. This AOP Languedoc cuvée focuses on intensity and balance, with dark fruit and spice as the common thread. Modern in approach, classic in expression.
Vineyards and region
The grapes come from Languedoc, France, within the AOP Languedoc. The sunny south yields concentrated fruit and a spicy signature that clearly emerges in this blend.
Vinification and maturation
The wine is aged for 6 months in oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of vanilla and coffee without overpowering the fruit. Quick question: how long is Les Réserves Red aged in oak? 6 months, for added complexity and roundness.
Grape composition
Syrah – AOP Languedoc
60%. Brings intense blackberry and white pepper notes.
Grenache – AOP Languedoc

Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Garnet red in color. The nose reveals blackberry and white pepper from the Syrah, with cherry, strawberry, and spicy notes from the Grenache. The flavor is dark fruit with subtle vanilla and coffee notes from the oak. Excellent with meat dishes such as beef and lamb, and also with game.
