Domaine de la Rectorie Côté Mer Collioure AOC

Collioure AOC, France
From the most exposed coastal parcels facing the Mediterranean, Côté Mer shows the saline, iron-inflected character of schist terraces swept by the Tramontane. Deep ruby with aromas of crushed dark berries, dried thyme, and iron filings. Full-bodied yet lifted by maritime freshness, the finish recalls black olive and sun-dried herb.
