The Wine
Thunderously powerful: Languedoc Roussillon’s remote village of Maury is “home to thunderously powerful Grenache” (Andrew Jefford) - like this legendary ‘King of the Big Reds’, one of our bestselling Southern French reds of all time. Old vine intensity: It owes its intensity to Grenache from vines up to 100 years old that grow on the rocky slopes of the Pyrenean foothills around Maury, and yield only tiny quantities of grapes. Winemaker intensity too! Le XV also benefits from the painstaking care of winemaker Mark Hoddy, a self confessed southern French wine aficionado, whose draconian selection process sees him earmark in advance every vine he intends to harvest. He also micro-manages every stage of the winemaking – in a good way! 15%! This is definitely BIG! One glass goes a long way, so invite some friends around for a French feast – they'll love it too!
