| Chateau/Producer: | Puech-Haut | | Wine Name: | Tete de Cuvee | | Country: | France | | State: | Montpellier | | AOC: | Coteaux Du Languedoc | | Region: | Saint-Drezery | | Wine Score: | 94 | | Notes: | Deep purple color with no signs of age; full bodied and very rich; abundant dark fruits, cherries, a little jammyness, hint of caramel, pencil shavings and tar-covered peach. Beautifully balanced - needs to age a bit longer. Wonderfully extracted with a bright finish. | | Tasting Date: | 2004-03-21 | | Varietal: | Syrah, Carignan | | Production Notes: | Puech-Haut's meticulously maintained vinyards are situated on rolling hillsides, well above the coastal Mediterranean city of Monpellier. In the chateau's state-of-the-art winery, a limited amount of this nearly opaque, ruby purple wine is crafted from hand-harvest fruit. This is the estate's top wine, a blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Carignan (from 60-year-old vines). Only 500 cases available in the U.S. | | Price US$: | 27.00 | | Source: | Martin's Wine Cellar, Metairie |
