L'Esprit d'Automne — Organic Minervois AOC — Bories de Maurel

Esprit d'automne bio is the introduction to Borie de Maurel's collection of great red wines. Firstly, with its minerality, a hint of graphite, then with its aromas of black olive, tobacco, and spices that recall the eminence of the clay-limestone terroirs of the Petit Causse. Then, with its fruit, with its aromas of morello cherry, red berries, and its minty, licorice finish. Finally, with this extraordinary sensation of creamy harmony, suave balance, and delicious serenity so characteristic of the Domaine's reds.
