Tasting notes
To taste an Vieux Marc, choose "chimney" cognac glasses, instead of the classical round ones. This Marc is not only elegant, but really interesting thanks to its strength. The nose is quite suave, with complex aromas of raisins, plum, prune, and a hint of liquorice. A powerful and ample mouth, followed by a long and elegant final.
Origin
Made from de-stemmed Mourvedre marcs. At the end of the vinification, when the wine is racked-off, the red marcs, that come out of the press, are de-stemmed and ensiled in tanks sheltered from the air.
