A blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Mourvedre, it harmonizes bold Syrah flavors of dark fruits and black pepper with Mourvedre's richness of blackberries, earthiness, and herbs.
This wine boasts a rich, full-bodied texture with velvety tannins enveloping flavors of blackcurrants, plums, cedar, and tobacco. Its well-integrated oak adds vanilla and spice nuances, leading to a satisfying, lingering finish with impeccable balance and aging potential. Michel Cazevieille and Sebastien Roubichou's dedication to their land and craftsmanship truly elevate L'Apogee 2016.
