Clos du Joncuas 2020 Cotes-du-Rhone Villages Seguret Rouge

Blend of 70% Grenache, with 15% Carignan and 15% Mourvèdre, always farmed organically, hand harvested, whole-cluster wild yeast fermentation, aged in cement vat, un-fined, unfiltered. The 2020 shows a medium garnet/black color with aromas of red currant and blackberry liqueur, plum skin, spice and black pepper. The palate shows nice density of chocolatey black fruits with berry liqueur and a sappy, chalky texture, with a bit of tannin in the firm finish but definitely ready to drink. Serve with a pork stew, Morrocan tagine or grilled steak.
