FEATURES
The 2007 Domaine de Peyre Rose Coteaux du Languedoc Marlène N°3 is a testament to Marlène Soria's unique winemaking philosophy in the Languedoc, known for her charismatic approach and dedication to extended aging. Her wines are often described as mysterious, magical, and possessing a remarkable capacity to age. This particular vintage is highly acclaimed, with Bettane & Desseauve considering it "perhaps the most accomplished of the three vintages in terms of its tannic expression. Rich, luscious, and elegant as it should be, yet without any harshness." It's seen not as a secondary wine, but as a distinct and formally perfect expression of the Marlène terroirs. The estate practices organic agriculture.
On the nose, expect sweet black fruit and floral notes, reminiscent of Syrah co-fermented with Viognier, alongside rich, peppery nuances. Other aromatic descriptors include fresh liquorice, thyme, menthol, red berries, and a spicy character. The palate is dense, velvety, straightforward, balanced, and taut, with a tight and very long texture, revealing notes of ripe mellow fruit and coffee. Expect earthy notes like leather, mushroom, and truffle, complemented by black fruit (blackberry) and oaky hints of tobacco and coffee.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions include beef stew, red meats, roasted free-range poultry, and a cheese platter. It also pairs wonderfully with a tajine of wild boar fillet with chestnuts and crunchy pistachios, herb sausage with Robuchon purée, or lamb.
🥂 This stunning wine is perfect for serious collectors or a special dinner, offering a genuinely remarkable experience. Its excellent aging potential, with recommendations to drink until at least 2025, makes it an ideal choice for cellaring and enjoying on a significant occasion.
