WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de Lancyre Coste d'Aleyrac is a harmonious blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan, sourced from clay-limestone scree terroir. With a yield of 45hl/ha it undergoes traditional vinification. After total destemming, it ferments for 15 days at controlled temperatures (max 25°C) with regular pump-overs, punch-downs, and rack-and-returns. Aging occurs in temperature-controlled tanks until its bottling in June. Upon tasting, its intense, bright red color precedes aromas of red berries, pepper, and licorice. The palate is balanced, with a velvety texture and a lingering licorice finish. Best served at 16-18°C.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château de Lancyre Coste d'Aleyrac is a remarkable wine that offers the unique terroir of the Languedoc region in France.This red wine is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, resulting in a truly exceptional expression of the local grape varieties.
On the nose, this wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of dried herbs. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of cedar and tobacco, adding complexity and depth to the overall profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavors of black fruits, such as blackcurrants and plums, take center stage, accompanied by a touch of spice and a lingering finish. The wine's structure and balance make it a perfect companion for hearty dishes like roasted lamb or beef stew.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château de Lancyre
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
