Les Hérétiques - VDP l'Hérault

 

According to Webster’s dictionary, a heretic is: “one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine.  A nonconformist.”   This fun little VDP from southern France breaks tradition by offering big flavors and big aromas at a small price!  Les Hérétiques is a blend of Carignane and Syrah and delivers explosive berry fruit mingled with unmistakable barnyard aromas.  The tannins are soft and easy, making it approachable with just about anything.  The result is a value-driven and balanced French red that works great with light to medium dishes based on meats, mushrooms, game, or other earthy elements.  Try it with a baguette and a piece of camembert!  $10.99 (also part of our '2 for $21 section)
