Melanie

2005 Languedoc Pezenas Cinsault, Grenache Noir, Syrah

Domaine Lacroix-Vanel Melanie is a captivating red wine from the picturesque Languedoc Pezenas region, crafted from a harmonious blend of Cinsault, Grenache Noir, and Syrah. This 2005 vintage showcases a bright ruby color that draws you in with its inviting allure. On the palate, it reveals a medium body accompanied by lively acidity, offering a refreshing balance. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering delightful notes of ripe cherry, plum, and subtle spices.

This wine is utterly dry, making it a versatile choice for various food pairings, from roast lamb to a gourmet charcuterie board, truly embodying the essence of its terroir.
