Domaine Peyre Rose Belle Léone – Vin de France – Red – 2011:

 

The Legend of Languedoc: Peyre Rose VDF Belle Leone Red

The PEYRE ROSE VDF BELLE LEONE ROUGE is the liquid legacy of Marlène Soria, the celebrated ‘Diva of Syrah.’ Though labeled Vin de France by the producer’s choice, this full-bodied red is consistently ranked among the finest, most age-worthy wines of the Southern Rhône and Languedoc. Sourced from old, organically farmed vines on clay-limestone soils, this wine embodies intensity, power, and ultimate refinement.

Tasting Notes – A Syrah Masterpiece

• Color: Deep, brooding garnet with an intense, dark core.
• Nose: Profoundly complex, opening with pronounced aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and dark florals, underscored by savory notes of black pepper, olive tapenade, clove, and the earthy, wild herbs of the garrigue.
• Palate: Dense and concentrated, featuring bold black fruit flavors wrapped in a velvety, yet firm, tannic structure. The wine achieves a masterful balance, combining Languedoc’s sun-drenched power with remarkable elegance.
• Finish: Extraordinarily long, spicy, and suave, with persistent notes of cooked fruit and subtle smoke.

Pairing & Serving Advice

A wine of this stature demands patience. Decanting for a minimum of one hour is essential to unlock its full, brooding complexity. This is a collector’s wine, built to age, but magnificent today with the right preparation. Serve at 61-63°F (16-17°C).
