Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Apr 2018
Primarily Carignan planted in 1909, the 2016 Minervois Les Carretals aged entirely in barrel. Boasting classy aromas of crushed stone, vanilla and baking spices, it is medium to full-bodied on the palate and finishes crisp and firm, with dusty tannins and bright cherry fruit. Give it until 2020 and then drink it over the next decade.

About the producer
Jean-Paul Tollot & Anne Gros
Anne Gros is better known for her estate in Vosne-Romanée, as is her partner Jean-Paul Tollot for his family’s Domaine Tollot-Beaut in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Beyond Burgundy, however, the duo makes some impressive wine in Cazelles in the Minervois, working with higher-altitude vineyards.
