LE VIGNE HAUTE 2010, MAS COUTELOU

TASTING NOTES

This is pure Syrah. Complex, with notes of violets and pepper, it does what most Nothern Rhône wines struggle to achieve. Drinking now but will age beautifully.

PRODUCER NOTES

The wines of Mas Coutelou, made by Jeff Coutelou in the village of Puimisson in the Languedoc, are some of the best value, most exciting, pure and drinkable wines we ship. These are 'natural' wines of the best sort - they don't taste tainted or unusual, apart from being extrordinarily delicious. An instant hit with customers, press and staff alike, Coutelou's wines have to be some of the greatest bargains ever to grace our shelves.

Mas Coutelou was one of the earliest estates in France to be officially certified as organic (back in 1987) and nowadays Jeff Coutelou is renowned as one of the foremost producers of ‘natural' wine in the Languedoc-Roussillon. This extends to using virtually no sulphur (a very rare and difficult exercise) in order to preserve absolutely the purity and elegance of the old-vine fruit. Jeff only makes the wines that suit a specific vintage, so if that means introducing a new cuvée in one year or skipping vintages of an existing wine because the conditions don’t suit, then so be it.

If you haven't tried these thrilling wines yet, what are you waiting for?
