XIIIe Rouge

Château Peyrassol’s vineyard estate was established all the way back in 1204 by the Knights Templar. In 2001 the property was acquired by Philippe Austury, who has worked ever since to raise its profile. The organic vineyards are set among 850 hectares of nature in the foothills of the Massif de Maures, where clay-limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate create the ideal conditions for wine production.

This estate cuvée was created on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the acquisition of the Commanderie de Peyrassol by Philippe Austruy. The very soul of the estate, XIIIE reflects the colours of Peyrassol’s terroir. Its unique bottle and free-form label, created by the designer Pierre Yovanovitch, combine authenticity and modernity in perfect harmony with this wine which reveals the taste of fruit without any diversion.

Purple in colour with hints of violet, this cuvée exhales notes of ripe Syrah: liquorice, pepper and peony. A beautiful procession of red and black then unfolds. The palate is beautifully mature with velvety tannins and mellow acidity. Intense flavors of red fruit, blackberry, then spices across the palate right through to the round, fleshy finish.
