Domaine Peyre Rose - Coteaux du Languedoc - Marlène n°3 - Rouge - 2006

Wine:

The 2006 red Coteaux du Languedoc Marlène n°3 is a vertical, energetic, sanguine, powerful wine with thick tannins, developing peppery, sweet spice and black olive aromas with fine notes of rancio, curry, and light tobacco. Starting with a certain austerity, it initiates a real change of style, gaining in voluptuousness, floral notes, and smoothness. A wine sublime today with a slender and suave appearance, of great dimension. Rated 94/100 RVF.

Vinification:

Hand harvested, aged for 24 months in vats and tuns.

Cellar aging:

From now on and more for enthusiasts

Peyre Rose, an icon of Languedoc and awarded 3 stars by the RVF Guide, is first and foremost the unconventional creation of Marlène Soria. Established in the early 1990s with modest ambitions, the estate quickly became a benchmark, embodying the model of an emerging Languedoc eager to showcase its great wines on the international stage.

Adored by Robert Parker, Peyre Rose swiftly ignited the critics and the community of wine lovers. Its wines, always highly sought after, serve as inspirations and exemplars of restraint and patience, enhanced by prolonged aging, careful and patient maturation, and exemplary organic cultivation.

The Cistes and Marlène n°3, predominantly Syrah-based, robust and vibrant at their inception, acquire a graceful patina over time, masterfully transcending the paradox between their fragrant and delicate aromatic profile and the sublime concentration of their origin. Featuring captivating finishes, they are exceptional cellar wines, released sparingly by the estate after many years of development in the cellar.
