Gayda Chemin de Moscou 2013
Vin de Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceAn organic mix of 62/32/6 syrah, grenache and cinsault with an open pleasing nose of black cherries, and plums with a peppery undercurrent. The attack is equally peppery with slippery, bright pure fruit flavours and touch of meat that coats the palate in silk and spice. Its fresh lively ripe fruit carries through to a slightly short finish. The bulk of the fruit oak aged for 21 months comes from highly regarded Tautavel and La Livinière. The road leading to these vineyards is known as the ‘Chemin de Moscou’ or the Road to Moscow. The local villagers believe the Chemin de Moscou name originated from the place outside the village where meetings were held, under the L’arbre de Moscou or Moscow Tree. The tree was used as a navigation beacon by pioneers of the Aéropostale service flying out of Toulouse on their way to Perpignan, Spain, North Africa and eventually South America. Stories of these flights have been immortalised by Saint Exupéry in his many books about his exploits. The tree, an enormous pine, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground over 20 years ago.Tasted: 04 January 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $39.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Stile Wines |
