The 2023 Cuvée Sainte Agnes is a red blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre from the Languedoc in southern France. The Syrah shows a kinship with the northern Rhône, with aromas of black olive and violets. Grenache and Mourvèdre add Mediterranean soul, but the wine leans toward restraint and perfume rather than big fruit. It is savory and floral, with bright orange zest, and it finishes with a freshness like cool stone.
The Ravaille brothers, Xavier, Pierre and Jean-Marc, planted their vineyard at the Ermitage du Pic St-Loup in 1992, on land long given over to sheep farming and cheese production. Their family has been in the Languedoc for over a thousand years. They have farmed biodynamically since 1999, have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage, and keep vinification as non-interventionist as possible.
