About the wine and its character

Syrah (25%)

Vintage year:

Color:

A deep red hue and a purplish tint.

Aroma:

Mouton Larzac exudes an intense and complex bouquet of mixed red, black, and blue berries, intertwined with fresh, mentholated eucalyptus notes and hints of liquorice that impart considerable freshness on the nose, alongside a touch of floral red fruit on the palate, featuring violet, rose, and peony.

Taste:

The full-bodied and robust palate echoes the nose, offering a richly tannic yet rounded flavour of great intensity. The hillside tannins and classic aromatic complexity create a harmonious ensemble, leading to a very long and elegant finish. Built to age for decades, this collectible wine reveals its character after a few years in the cellar. It is particularly representative of this special vineyard in the foothills of Larzac, characterised by clay-limestone soil once covered by the sea, well-drained and rocky under the typically sunny mountainous climate, benefiting from the Company’s minimally interventionist winemaking approach.

Terroir:

Firmly anchored in the mountainous reliefs of Larzac and gently refreshed by the marine influences of the Mediterranean, this wine is crafted from a blend of old Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah vines. It is thoughtfully conceived here at Brusq, in the hinterland of Montpellier. The vineyard benefits from the influence of the garrigue and a warm, windy climate, ideal for the long maturation of the red varieties from Larzac. Handcrafted using unique winemaking techniques passed down through three centuries of dedicated cultivation, it blends creative inspiration with rigorous oenological standards. From this segment of time was born the Mouton Larzac, whose vintages average only 250 cases per year. The 2023 vintage is part of the collection of fine vintages from Mara Wine. The year was characterised by extreme climatic events: low rainfall in spring and a heatwave in July. The exceptional summer and Indian summer allowed for remarkable ripening, resulting in a dazzling wine.

Harvest:

Picked by hand

Fermentation:

Steel (100%)

Storage:

Old oak (80%) 16 months
New oak (20%) 16 months

Winemaker:

Brice Company & son

The fundamental principles of winemaking at Mouton Larzac are based on the fresh maturation of the grapes, pure plot-specific vinification, indigenous yeasts (selected on the estate), gentle extraction, prolonged maceration, manual pump-overs, and a single rack-and-return during the four weeks of fermentation. The malolactic fermentation takes place in vats, followed by barrel ageing. The Mouton Larzac 2023 is matured in two-wine oak barrels for 16 months.
