45- and 60-year-old vines
This is still quite youthful with ever-so-mildly toasty dark berry fruit
Aromas of newly tilled earth explode from the glass with floral notions of lilac and rose nuances that waft with spicy tones
creating a calcium and iron rich media that forces roots to struggle
Domaine d'Aupilhac, Coteaux du Languedoc, Montpeyroux 2013 Sauvignon Blanc 45- and 60-year-old vines90 Jeb Dunnuck WA. Starting with the 2013 Languedoc Montpeyroux dAupilhac, this medium to full bodied blend of Mourvdre, Syrah, Carignan and Grenache offers ample black and blue fruits, damp earth and peppery herbs in a pure, mouth filling, rounded style. Mostly destemmed and aged 11 months by variety in demi muids, followed by 11 more months blended together in foudre, it should keep nicely through 2023. Apr 27, 2016
