Côte Dorée 2013 Languedoc Montpeyroux - Domaine L’Aiguelière
If you are a fan of complex reds from Languedoc, you will love the Côte Dorée. Aromas of red fruit dominate here, although Syrah makes most of the blend. A very round red wine, smoother than many of its peers. Really beautiful bottle to discover. Hint: Taste it blind with the Côte Rousse, you'll spend a memorable night!

91/100 "An enticing nose with mocha, cocoa and truffle over ripe, purple fruit. Uncompromising and ambitious with well handled new oak and touches of cinnamon spice. Clean and long." |

Côte Rousse is an absolutely magnificent wine made of 95% old Syrah - and it is our little gem this week. It is rare to see such elegance in Languedoc, which is why some might compare this Côte Rousse to a Côte Rôtie.
