2023 Domaine Coste-Ubesse « Moja Negra » - Languedoc - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

6 bottles from the Coste-Ubesse estate, MOJA NEGRA 2023 cuvée in Pic Saint-Loup. The Coste-Ubesse wine comes from two parcels of Syrah that are neighboring, totaling barely 3 hectares and farmed organically. This parcel, located in the commune of Saint-Mathieu-de-Tréviers in Hérault, sits on a slope of clay-limestone pebbly soil on fissured marls, oriented to the north (Ubesse = Ubac, meaning north in Occitan). My grandfather Eugène, walking through his vines, taught me to observe the cicadas, as if married to the bark of an arbutus, of a laurel chestnut or a large Aleppo pine. The cades, cistus, rosemary, and the garrigue shrubs are here the companions of the vines. They send their roots beyond the calcareous pebbles into the soft clay of Coste-Ubesse, the north-facing slope. This orientation tempers the sun’s deadly heat in summer, the terroir shelters the plants from sudden winter onslaughts. Everything here favors the tranquil growth to full ripeness of the grapes that make my wines. According to my research, the Reboul family were winemakers from father to son without interruption since 1700 (I could not go back further…). A sign of fate, they were at that time owners in Saint-Pargoire, the commune on which we bought a few hectares of vines with Jean-Luc to complement the Coste-Ubesse estate at Pic Saint-Loup… A 100% Syrah-Grenache cuvée with captivating notes of licorice and vanilla, long on the palate, which aged two years in barriques before bottling. Magnificent. See my other sales on Catawiki.
