Description
Long Courrier is Laura Aillaud’s most ambitious cuvée. A blend of Counoise, Cinsault and Carignan aged in demi-muids. Designed to stand the test of time (the most patient among you will find it a delight in two or three years’ time), the wine is nonetheless at its best right now. The nose reveals notes of black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) and spices, without the slightest hint of overripeness. The body is balanced by lovely acidity, giving the wine remarkable balance. A good aeration will make the tasting even more rewarding, allowing you to appreciate the wine’s full complexity and earthy character. A gastronomic profile that will be enhanced by a rack of lamb (from the Luberon, of course) or a Provençal stew.
