Mort aux Cons 2021/22

🍇Lledoner Pelut and Syrah

This full-bodied wine is fierce on the palate with aromas of ripe red fruits and toasted notes. The palate then extends with notes of sweet and animal spices. The wood aging has masked the strong tannins to make them more "accessible". A long, fine and pleasant aftertaste. Enjoy it with game dishes or slow-roasted meat.

Lledoner Pelut, also known as 'Hairy Grenache', is known for its distinctive appearance with its hairy leaves and clusters of small, dark-skinned berries. This grape variety is highly prized for its ability to produce wines with intense flavors and aromas. The wines made from Lledoner Pelut grapes are often described as full-bodied and rich with notes of dark fruits such as blackberries and black cherries. They also exhibit hints of spices, such as black pepper and cloves, which add complexity to the overall flavor profile.

La Cave aux Fioles, located in Rivesaltes north of Perpignan, is a small organic estate run by winemaker Carlos Badia, who offers an exclusive production of natural and artisanal wines. The cellar is located in an old chapel (14th century), which allows him to vinify cuvées that are authentic and without unnecessary additives.
