Pic Saint-Loup: Mas Bruguière La Grenadière 2009
‘La Grenadière’ is the flagship wine at Mas Bruguière, a red wine blended from 20% each of Mourvèdre and Grenache and 60% of Syrah. It has a wealth of wild herb aromas and dark briary fruit but is deeper and denser than the ‘Arbouse’ from Mas Bruguière, and will age well for 5 (or more) years.
