From an exemplary estate in this small and scattered appellation close to Toulouse in south-west France, this blend is made up by the local negrette with syrah in support, a formula that works especially well. Utterly gorgeous expression of fleshy, blackberry and cherry fruit.

Deep, luscious crimson. Nicely integrated with a little graininess on the end. Lots of local character for the money in this local speciality from just north of Toulouse. Good value. 16/20
