Wine of the Week: Chateau Mourgues Du Gres Galets Rouges 2010

We are proud to announce we are now importing the wines of Chateau Mourgues Du Gres! Mourgues Du Gres’s moto, “Sine Sole Nihil” or “Nothing Without Sunshine.” The Chateau’s vineyards benefit from both northern and southern sun all year long, ensuring that the grapes reach optimum maturity.  This week’s week featured wine is the Mourgues Du Gres Galets Rouges.  The soil of the Chateau’s vineyard is covered with Galets, large flat pebbles that protect the soil from evaporation and add a noticeable touch of minerality to the wine.   This delightful Syrah is blended with a touch of Grenache, Mourvedre, and old vine Carignan.  Soft tannins, mildly spicy with red and black berry fruits all perfectly balance together to please your pallet!  Best paired with meat dishes such as duck or steak and hearty winter vegetables.
