This red wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, and Grenache grapes, all of which contribute to this red wine from Maison Le Bosquet. The winery and vineyards are located in Vias, a coastal town not far from Béziers in the Languedoc region. The vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine combined with a cooling sea breeze. This results in a ripe harvest, and with the volcanic soil, the results are stunning. The harvest is brought in at night and early morning to protect the grapes from oxidation and bruising during transport. Each grape is harvested separately, after which the family blends this red wine. And leave it to them—it's a real treat to drink.
After opening the bottle, we smelled a vibrant aroma of black and red fruit, which intensified as we poured this red wine. The color in the glass reminded us of deep red cherries with a purple sheen. All the aromas were released, and we noted nuances of berries and cherries, as well as some light spices and plums. On the palate, this red Maison Le Bosquet is very smooth and refined. Beautiful flavors of plums, cherries, and blackberries complemented by vanilla and a touch of stewed strawberries.
