Château Trillol Grenache Carignan Syrah 2012
Corbières, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceFrom 400m and 35 years vine age, in the hills of Corbières, this grenache, syrah, carignan employs partial carbonic maceration, and aging for up to one year in oak barrels, before light fining and no filtration. Grenache rules (nearly half) with perfumed raspberry, strawberry, dark cherry, violets and a lurking scrubby herbaceousness on a soft, bright palate, with tannins finely grippy. A fine peppery spicing and bitter blackcurrant lingers on the finish. Expect a balance and elegance you might not normally find in the south. An ideal bistro wine, well priced, and one I'd gladly order with steak frites.Tasted: 03 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
