2021 Tête de Cuvée Rouge 'Black Label', Domaine de la Jasse, Languedoc
It's the star of their show: the sumptuous 2021 Tête de Cuvée Rouge is made entirely from cabernet sauvignon grapes handpicked from only the very best plots and is, in short, a winemaking triumph. On the nose, intense, perfumed notes of blackcurrant and dried cranberry combine with delicate, sweet oak, on the palate, rich, spicy layers of juicy dark, bittersweet fruit with a fabulous freshness and structure. Over the coming years, the development of serious complexity is assured here - a complexity you would pay three or four times more for in Bordeaux.
