Pointe du Jour IGP 2020 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Pointe du Jour IGP 2020 1500ml Magnum from Flo Busch

Colour & appearance

Deep purple red with violet reflections and an impenetrable black centre - a wine that visually reveals its origins in the sun-drenched Languedoc.

Nose

Florian Busch's 2020 Pointe du Jour reveals itself as an authentic terroir portrait: black cherries and Plums merge with Mulberries and the characteristic garrigue seasoning from Thyme and black olives. A subtle core tone is reminiscent of Sloes and lends the bouquet a wild, unpolished elegance. This oscillating balance between dark fruit and Mediterranean herbal spice is pure Languedoc poetry.

Palate

The powerful attack is deceptive - the palate reveals surprising finesse. The tightly woven tannins structure the wine with aristocratic precision, while the opulent nose transforms into a disciplined concentration of fruit. Wild thyme and Mint provide an ethereal coolness, while the refreshing acidity carries through to the fruity, tart finish. A wine with character and grip.

General information

This cuvée from Syrah, Carignan and Grenache comes from vines planted in the late 1970s on limestone and marl soils. Biodynamically cultivated, hand-picked and spontaneously fermented, the wine matured for 15 months in used barriques. Bottled unfined and unfiltered - pure craftsmanship from Montpeyroux.

Food pairing suggestions

Perfect for Crostini with aubergine caviar and dried tomatoes, Grilled mackerel with baba ghanoush or Grilled merguez with harissa. The Mediterranean flavour harmonises perfectly with southern cuisine.

Special features

An authentic natural wine from the up-and-coming Languedoc region, which proves that the region has far more to offer than cheap everyday wines. Florian Busch's precision craftsmanship and respect for the terroir create a wine with soul and identity.
