Domaine Mouriesse Vinum – La Miroenière Rouge 2016

Description

Domaine Mouriesse Vinum is one of the smallest producers in Châteauneuf du Pape, run by a husband and wife team with a mere 2.5 hectares (by comparison, an average Bordeaux estate has around 20 hectares). But as they say, quality over quantity, and you’ll find quality in spades with their wines.

La Miroenière Rouge punches well above its weight, with aromas of ripe cherries and dried herbs evoking the Mediterranean climate where it is made.  Unlike most other IGP wines, La Miroenière Rouge will benefit from aging, so even though it’s from 2016, you’ll be able to enjoy it now through at least 2024.
