Domaine Magellan, AOC Coteaux du Languedoc (Pezenas) 2009.
Tonight we had a potato gratin with mushrooms and garlic, and the perfect wine to go with it - the Domaine Magellan Coteaux du Languedoc 2009. A deep purple wine with typical Languedoc features in abundance.

The winery is in Magalas, 10 km north of Béziers. The Syrah and Grenache grapes that went into this wine were manually harvested and no commercial yeast was added during the vinification. The wine was then aged in 3 to 5 year old barrels for 9 months.
The aroma is warm and full of blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, chocolate and licorice notes with a hint of herbal spices.
On the palate there's a warm and energetic feeling, very fruity and with quite a lot of mouth watering acidity and fine tannins. Full, balanced, fresh fruit but with some maturity too. A model of harmony! I'll have another sip!!
