The estate and the wine |
|
|
A Selection Committee favorite, La Villa Symposia is one of the Languedoc’s standout estates. Visionary owner Eric Prissette chose this southern gem to freely express his unique approach to winemaking. For over twenty years, he has crafted biodynamic wines that are vibrant, complex, and profoundly expressive of the Languedoc’s terroir at its finest. |

The 2020 Red Languedoc L'Équilibre is beautifully balanced, with fresh yet ripe character. Syrah takes the lead, adding layers of dark fruit and exotic spice on the nose. Dense and concentrated on the palate, with smooth tannins and a subtle, savory quality, this vintage is outstanding now and promises to develop gracefully over the next three years and beyond. Ideal with flavorful meats like ribeye or leg of lamb, it’s a fantastic find at this price—awarded 93/100 and a true Selection Committee favorite. |
