Château de Lancyre 2021
Full-bodied and powerful, yet remarkably balanced. The ripe dark fruit flavors from the nose were echo its juicy, concentrated character. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure without being aggressive.
Nose: The first swirl released a captivating bouquet of aromas. Ripe black cherries and blackberries were prominent. There was a lovely savory edge, with aromas of garrigue—the wild herbs and scrubland of the Languedoc—like thyme and rosemary.
Palate: Hints of black pepper, a touch of licorice, and a subtle smokiness, likely from the oak aging. It was a complex and layered nose, evocative of the region's terroir. There was also a subtle floral note, like violets, adding a touch of elegance. The acidity was vibrant, keeping the wine lively and preventing it from feeling heavy.
The oak was well-handled, adding a touch of spice and vanilla without overpowering the fruit. The wine had a sense of warmth and generosity, reflecting the sunny climate of the Languedoc.
Finish: A long and satisfying finish, with the dark fruit and savory notes lingering beautifully. The tannins left a gentle, drying sensation, inviting another sip. The spice notes from the nose reappeared, adding a pleasant warmth.
Pairing
Grilled Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic:
The wine's resinous herb notes and savory character perfectly complement the flavors of grilled lamb. Rosemary and garlic enhance the wine's herbal nuances. Serve with roasted potatoes and a side of grilled vegetables.
Beef Stew with Herbs de Provence: A hearty beef stew, slow-cooked with Herbs de Provence, is an ideal match for the wine's full body and savory complexity.
Game Meats (Venison, Wild Boar): Consider a venison loin with a red wine reduction or a wild boar osso buco.
