Grenache de Bek 2016

At Bek, facing the marshes of the Camargue, the terroir of sand and chalk offers Grenache an expression of infinite delicacy. This wine is produced in very limited quantities and only in exceptional vintages. For Michel the 2016 vintage is the greatest vintage he’s ever seen in 23 years of making wine. Naturally moderate yields, a warm and dry growing season with exceptionally cool nights produced fresh, concentrated and wonderfully balanced grapes.

Appearance

a deep ruby with violet highlights

Nose

complex bouquet of raspberries, rose petals, Garrigue and minerals.

Taste

dynamic with a dense velvety mid palate, and very fine tannins. The long and fresh finish lingers with accents of liquorice, soft spices and mineral notes.
