Presentation
La Cour des Dames wines pay tribute to an illustrious period in Occitan culture. The troubadours, celebrated poet-musicians, devoted themselves to lyric art and courted ladies. Using their oratorical talents at sumptuous banquets served in their honour, they also introduced their audiences to wine tasting. By combining wines, gastronomy, music and poetry they were the precursors of a certain Mediterranean art of living that has lasted to the present day.
Terroir
This Mourvèdre reflects the diversity of the terroirs of Pays d'Oc. Influenced by the Mediterranean climate, this characterful wine fully expresses its potential in a spicy, structured, and powerful style.
Winemaking
2/3 of the blend undergo very long maceration until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The remaining third undergoes carbonic maceration, which is whole grape maceration to preserve all the fruit's freshness.

Tasting
With its lovely intense red colour, this wine offers fruits and acacia aromas enhanced by pepper, cinnamon and liquorice scents, and finishing on a very long and velvety palate. It has good, well-balanced tannins and a nice lengh. The almost sweet finish leaves a smooth, velvety impression. Lots of character.
Food pairings
It's excellent with red meats, herb-grilled lamb, spicy dishes and goat's cheese.
