Domaine Les Grandes Costes Pic Saint Loup 2009

Keeping with the food recommendations, Kirby also picked out this wine to go with chicken or lamb. He wrote: “The rocky outcrop of Pic Saint Loup is home to some of the finest wines of the Languedoc. Old, low-yield vines and long hot summers produce wines of terrific power and concentration using typical blends of Syrah and Grenache, as here, resulting in a generous mouthful of dark-black fruits and mountain herbs, undercut with spiciness.”
