Description
Mas Montel La Petite Syrah is marvellously consistent with soft ripe fruit flavours to the fore, an uncomplicated “vin de bébé” showing stewed fruits flecked with cinnamon and nutmeg. Garnet colour, earthy aromas, notes of red fruits, spice, leather and liquorice. Well balanced with elegant and rounded tannins. This wine is made from Durif, also known as Petite Syrah.
Mas Montel is to be found just outside the village of Asperes near Montpellier and is run by Dominique Granier, the estate is making great strides in the industry. The terroir (Terres de Sommières) is characterised by soils of limestone and clay with flints. Dominique Granier’s wines are always very approachable with charming fruit.
Food matches: An enjoyable wine to be served with lamb or cassoulet.
