Clos Marie - Pic Saint-Loup - Les Glorieuses - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

A blend of old Grenache and Syrah vines, the 2020 red Pic Saint-Loup Les Glorieuses is full-bodied and powerful, with notes of graphite, charcoal, garrigue and black fruit. Still restrained, young and full-bodied, it offers ripe, thick tannins of great depth. A wine to wait at least five years, which will age wonderfully.

Certified organic and biodynamic.

Temperature:

Decant first and serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Grilled, roasted or stewed red meats, roast beef with pepper mignonette, rack of lamb and garlic purée, duck breast.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2033 and beyond for enthusiasts
