The vines grow amidst the garrigue of the Languedoc—the Mediterranean scrubland of rosemary, thyme, and lavender, whose aromas are directly imprinted on the wine. The cellar is headed by oenologist Eric Thomas, who grew up in the Languedoc and has nearly 20 years of experience in the region. Kyriakos Kynigopoulos, named France\u0026#39;s Oenologist of the Year, serves as a consultant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the Rondeur Reserve displays dark berry fruit—blackberry, blackcurrant—underpinned by the herbal and resinous notes of the garrigue. On the palate, a mineral structure emerges, adding tension to the concentrated fruit profile. The finish is long and spicy. \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature: 16–18 °C.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs well with braised lamb, ratatouille, or strong hard cheeses such as Ossau-Iraty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unbekannter Hersteller","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":53152180404560,"sku":"VJ1707-2021","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/405573.jpg?v=1781611643","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/rondeur-reserve-appassimento-vdf","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
