The Story

La Mouline is a steeply terraced amphitheater on the Côte Blonde, a shape that shelters the 2.5 acre site from the wind and acts as a heat trap.  Soils are gneiss with lightly colored silicone containing limestone loess.  The site is planted to 89% Syrah and 11% Viognier, with the two varieties picked together and co-fermented.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, complex, refined and seductive. The taste is focused, toasty, vivid, full, and dry, with drying tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, well-structured structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has spice, violet, licorice, blackberry, pepper and smoky flavours. The finish is long, lingering and spicy. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
