Mas de Boislauzon VDF 'La Chaussynette Rouge' ‘23

This innovative Vin de France from a top Châteauneuf producer presents a vivid ruby-purple hue with electric violet highlights. The nose bursts with primary aromas of just-crushed black cherries, lavender, and cracked black pepper with an underlying stony minerality. On the palate, juicy flavors of boysenberry, licorice root, and garrigue herbs dance across silky tannins with remarkable freshness (5.8 g/L TA) at 14.5% alcohol. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Cinsault from young vines, fermented whole cluster and aged in concrete. Critics praised its drinkability with consistent 90-91 point scores. Perfect slightly chilled with grilled lamb chops or ratatouille - the 2022 vintage shows incredible purity and vibrancy.
