Wine Expert Note:

The Domaine Gassier Lou Coucardié Rouge is an exceptional red wine. This wine is a true representation of the terroir and the unique characteristics of the region it comes from. On the nose, the Lou Coucardié Rouge offers a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spices and herbs. These aromas are beautifully integrated and create a harmonious and inviting scent. Upon tasting, this wine reveals its full potential. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors of black fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by notes of licorice, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. The wine displays a remarkable balance between fruitiness, acidity, and structure, making it a pleasure to drink. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's complexity and depth. The Lou Coucardié Rouge is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully, allowing its flavors to evolve and develop further over time.
