Calmel & Joseph La Ruffe

Deep purple red in colour. Initial aromas are typical of this terroir of red shale mounds known as “ruffes”, with untamed, spicy notes of garrigue, followed by peat and truffle in a very Mediterranean style. The palate is elegant and superbly balanced with silky, melting tannins of great persistence.
The inherent freshness of this wine is exceptional, as always, with a myriad of small red berry fruit, truffle, garrigue but also notes of black olive tapenade creating exceptional harmony. A rare cuvee that can be enjoyed today, in this vintage, or cellared for many more years.
