Tasting Notes & Terroir
“Icône” is a red Côtes du Roussillon that brings together three emblematic grape varieties of the region: Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre.
The various plots used are located in the Les Aspres area, 12 km from the Mediterranean coast, on clay-stony and decomposed granite soils. These vines benefit from cool nights and sunny days, allowing them to reach optimal ripeness while maintaining a beautiful freshness.
On the palate, this wine is smooth and generous with a lovely, fleshy texture. The tannins are supple and refined, leading into a beautiful, lingering finish.
