Slurp Wines NR
Tête de Belier is Puech-Haut`s entry point, made from younger vines and parcels destined for earlier drinking. Don`t let the accessible positioning fool you though, this still carries the estate`s quality signature. Predominantly Grenache and Syrah, aged briefly in oak to add complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The 2021 vintage has had time to settle and integrate. Red cherry, blackberry and plum with dried herbs, pepper and subtle spice. Medium to full bodied with soft, rounded tannins smoothed by age. The fruit is still present but has evolved beyond primary freshness into something more harmonious. Easy-going Mediterranean character with enough structure to handle food. Clean, satisfying finish. Serve at room temperature (16°C). No decanting needed. Pairs well with grilled meats, ratatouille, tomato-based pasta, or charcuterie. Drinking well now, enjoy over the next 2-3 years while it`s still fresh and vibrant.
