LES POINTES DU DEFFENDS 2014 (Domaine du Deffends)
PROVENCE - AOP COTEAUX VAROIS EN PROVENCE - Red
After a 2 hours decanting, the nose offers beautiful aromas of black fruits, spices and grilled coffee. The palate is structured and fruity, it offers a beautiful length with a finish stretching on blackcurrant notes. It's fresh and very nice!
"Les Pointes du Deffends" is a cuvée made from 40-year-old vines, planted on south-east facing slopes with a clay-limestone soil. Mainly composed of Syrah, this wine needs to be decanted a few hours before the service. It can be drunk now, but a some extra years of aging can be beneficial.

La structure et l’aromatique poivrée de ce vin exigent une assocation avec des plats savoureux et rehaussés. Le domaine le conseille sur un tournedos rossini, des râbles de lapin farcis ou des côtes de veau aux champignons et piment d’Espelette. On pourra également l’accompagner de joues de porc poêlées aux épices ou de côtes d’agneau de lait marinées et grillées. Une pintade rôtie au four accompagnée de ses pommes de terre lui fera aussi parfaitement honneur.
