Domaine de Terrebrune red 2016 (3 bottles)

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept. 2025): 97/100. Another brilliance, another year, but still so much influenced by the Triassic marls, the youthful 2016 offers finesse of fruit and notes of licorice, spices, bay leaf, bramble...

Revue du Vin de France (Alexis Goujard): The red 2016 is certainly one of the finest vintages produced by the domaine. Its unique floral aroma and incomparable harmony of texture shine through to an unmatched saline finish. Keep a dozen bottles in the cellar of great wines.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape varieties: 85% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache, 5% Cinsault

TASTING NOTES
This vintage was born from a combination of a rainy winter, a rather dry spring, and a very hot summer. It can be characterized as a "fire vintage." Fiery and rather austere in its youth, it now reveals its strong character and great potential. Its powerful structure finds its place in a silky envelope, so characteristic of this limestone terroir of the Trias.
“An iron hand in a velvet glove.” The flavors of spices blend with intense dark fruits. Its firm tannins give it an endless length on the palate supported by intense minerality. This wine pairs well with classic gastronomic dishes such as meats and game, but also with bolder choices like fish or even lobster.
