Chateau de Lancyre Pic Saint Loup Coste d'Aleyrac

Northern Rhone like and a fraction of the price!




2017 Chateau de Lancyre Pic Saint Loup Coste d'Aleyrac...$19.99


50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Carignan.
Blackberries, ground pepper, dried earth and peppered meat notes all dominate the 2017 Pic Saint Loup Coste D'Aleyrac, a ripe, rounded, complex, almost Northern Rhône-like red to drink over the coming 7-8 years. The blend is 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, and 10% Carignan, brought up all in tank.
Rated 92/100 Jeb Dunnuck
Crushed stone and flowering garrigue notes mark the nose of the 2017 Pic Saint Loup Coste d'Aleyrac, a blend of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Carignan aged solely in tank. Blackberries and licorice appear on the medium to full-bodied palate, which is smooth and supple, gliding easily into a long, savory finish.
Rated 90/100 Wine Advocate
