It is one of those wines whose beauty speaks deeply to one’s soul.
Pristine and pure, powerful and yet so soft, soothing like an elixir, Mustango seems to have been vinified by some elves in the mountains of Roussillon.
Elaborated in the style of Burgundy’s Grand Crus, Mustango offers integrated notes of ripe yellow plums, juicy Beurré Giffard's pears, honeysuckle with a fresh lemon zest. The extremely poor schist soils gives it its incredible concentration and its sweet, peppery and savoury pairing. Extremely long finish on toasted sesame seeds, iode and flint.
A wine of great occasions.
