Têtu, Grenache Côtes du Cantalanes (2015)

Languedoc-Roussillon, France
92 Pts - Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2015 Côtes Catalanes Grenache is a beauty and the finest wine I’ve tasted from this estate. Made by Richard Case, who’s the guru behind the quality of the Department 66 wines, it offers a deep purple color to go with ripe, sexy aromas of black raspberries, melted licorice, roasted herbs, and ground pepper. Picking up a terrific sense of minerality with time in the glass, it’s full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and voluptuous, with no hard edges and a clean, weightless texture. It benefits from a short decant and will keep for 7-8 years. It’s a serious wine."

"Made by Richard Case, who's the genius behind the Department 66 wines, the 2015 Cotes Catalanes Tetu is close to 100% Grenache and from a top selection of vineyards owned by the co-op in Maury. There's roughly 7,000 cases of this beauty and it offers loads of sweet red fruits, (strawberries, cherries), pepper, iris and exotic spices in a medium to full-bodied, supple and sexy style that's about as drinkable as they come. Count me as a fan and it's a terrific value." - Robert M Parker Jr.
