Region Languedoc
Sub-Region -Roussillon.
Harvest (Vintage) 2006
Dark, purple red with a complex aroma and bouquet suggesting crushed dried herbs and ripe fruit. The bouquet is quite complex and boasts notes of cherry, leather, and a slight touch of green pepper. The flavors profile is very elegant but the wine has extreme power and body. Tart cherry, cedar, green and earthy underlining notes, and a grip of tannin make this wine a complex but complicated red. La Cuvee Mythique is the
Languedoc’s answer to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. La Cuvée Mythique was created by the Val d’Orbieu in 1990 to assert the incredible potential of the terroirs of the Languedoc Roussillon. The wines are blended from more than one hundred different carefully selected wines from the appellations of Corbières, Minervois and St. Chinian and aged in a new cellar totally dedicated to La Cuvee Mythique. Today the company is one of France’s largest. This wine could use a few years in bottle before it sheds it's true color. Heavy tannin and oak overpower the fruit core but in time this wine will sing. The finish is long and intense and cries for food, so be careful when you drink because I belive its Mythic taste can change your mood. 80 pts.| Priority : ★★★ |
