[Souleil Vin de Bonté] Le Rouge 2023

Although Grenache / Syrah blends from the Languedoc generally fall on the fuller bodied side of the tasting spectrum, the 2023 vintage of Souleil Rouge showcases just how bright and easy-drinking wines produced from these varieties can be. In the glass, the wine pours a beautiful ruby red hue and offers a bouquet of strawberry, blueberry, and persistent aromas of dried herbs. On the palate, ripe flavors of blackberry jam, cherry coulis, and savory hints of thyme lead to a zesty, well-balanced finish. Think of it like Cru Beaujolais meets the sunny south of France. Serve slightly chilled to allow the wine’s vivacity to shine.
