Color:

Purple red with violet reflections.

Nose:

The nose of the 2015 Astérolide from Domaine Roc des Anges reflects the characteristics of the Mouvédre like a picture book: fleshy and hearty, its dark spice hovers over the distinctive fruit. Blackberries and dried plums provide depth alongside accents of mild spices such as cloves and black pepper.

Mouth:

On the palate, the 100% Mouvédre from red clay and limestone soils is stout with a clear, fruit-driven mouthfeel. Juicy with fine, chalky minerality and ethereal top notes, it has the tannins typical of Mouvédre, but in this case youthful, almost velvet-pawed. With delicate spice and finely chiselled acidity it goes into the fruity cool finish.
