Grapes are sourced from vines in the heart of the Plan de Dieu appellation. The blend of Grenache and Syrah undergoes a long maceration and traditional ageing in concrete tanks. Some of the Syrah spends 14 months in demi-muids to add complexity and finesse.
Mas d’Alcyon, Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône Villages wine is full-bodied and textural with smooth, ripe tannins. The nose has liquorice and red and black fruit, which carry through to the palate with a salty, mineral edge. Structured yet approachable, the finish is long with hints of coffee and spice. Great with chicken and mushroom pie, or a lentil moussaka.
