2023 Les Genets Syrah/Grenache, IGP Pays d'Oc, France

LGI was founded in 1999 by Alain Grignon. He had formerly been head of cooperatives in Gascogny and was frustrated by many aspects of the domestic French wine industry, so with his partners, he set up a business to cater solely to export markets. As well as running a team of winemakers and viticulturists sourcing fruit in the Languedoc, predominantly in St Chinian and the Côtes de Gascogne, they are also involved with a selection of top class individual domaines. The company is now one of the most respected sources of high quality and reliable wines from the region and is the source of our ‘house’ wines.

Machine and hand harvested. Fermented in tank at 25C with 2 weeks of skin contact to optimise extraction. Aged in tank for 6 months before bottling.

Medium deep colour with a lovely nose of black fruits and spices. The palate is medium bodied, fruity and smooth and framed by ripe gentle tannins.
