La Roque is located in the tiny hamlet of Pic St. Loup, one of the several grand cru wine villages in southwestern France. The estate was founded nearly over 700 years ago; and records show that vines were planted at the estate dating back to1259. Now that’s what we call history; and their experience shines in each glass. Basking in this warm terroir or climate, the late ripening noble variety of Mourvedre has found a home growing in the south facing vineyards of Chateau La Roque. The old vines cuvee of Mourvedre is remarkably approachable for such a young pup. The perfume is full of savory notes and dried herbs. Not fined or filtered in order to preserve the natural integrity and flavor.
