Domaine Peyre Rose "Marlène N°3" red 2014:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024): 93/100. The domaine showcases superb 2014s, very open today. Marlène N°3 is more camphor-like. It expresses notes of cold tobacco and garrigue aromas. The palate is juicy, dense yet fine.

La Revue du Vin de France (Caroline Furstoss, May 2024, "the 100 wines that define the greatness of Languedoc" regarding the 2014 vintage). 2014, the vintage that dreams are made of a decade later. "This was our last vintage with juice," the Occitan winemakers declare in unison. A year less sunny than the following ones, 2014 is an excellent compromise for both reds and whites from Languedoc, with a chiseled profile and fine tannins reflecting just maturity in many domaines. In certain areas like Pic Saint-Loup, the volume was generous, and the winemakers had no idea of the unfortunate climatic sequence they would face in the following years. Finally, it should not be forgotten that the finest cuvées from Languedoc are never better than when they show a decade...
