Château la Sable Luberon (Red)

More from this producer: Château la Sable

  • 2023

    Opaque ruby. Red fruit aromas with gentle perfume and floral charm, showing a hint of jammy red berries, subtly sweet new oak, and a hint of violets. Rich, lush, and full of joyous red berries, strawberries, and raspberries on the palate. Elegant tannins, gently chalky and mineral, supported by plenty of acidity and refined fruit, with a hint of cloves and stem ginger towards the finish. Attractive and appealing fruit with obvious Grenache typicity. Beautifully elegant. A classic Provencal red with quite a bit more Grenache character bleeding through than typical.
