XV Du President 2012

Product Description

The South of France is producing some of the countrys "most interesting terroir driven wine" (The Independent). Le XV, best known by its deserved nickname King of the Big Reds, owes its intensity to old vine Grenache, sourced from some of Frances oldest vineyards. It also benefits from the painstaking care of Mark Hoddy, whose draconian selection process sees him pick out every vine (some over 100 years old) & oversee every stage of the winemaking. This fastidious method takes time, but you can taste the fruits in every delicious, lip staining glass! Richly textured, with layers of bramble fruit kept smooth by warming alcohol & soft, ripe tannins, this is a red to enjoy with roast lamb, peppered steak or wild boar sausages.
