Pont du Nord Contre Sud 2021 Grenache Syrah Mourvdre Minervois AOC, France

Description

Pont du Nord Contre Sud invites you to sample one of southern France’s signature wines. Our 2021 GSM features harmonic layers of fruit flavor with prominent spicy characteristics from toasted oak. Grenache accounts for 50 percent of the blend, adding softness, spice, and fruit notes, while 45 percent Syrah and 5 percent Mourvèdre create earthiness and structure. Minervois AOC lies within France’s Pay d’Oc IGP. This mountainous region is home to medieval stone villages set against swells of bright green countryside. Wines produced here must be blends of at least two varieties to display Minervois AOC on their label. The area’s warm climate means Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre dominate vineyards. Throughout history, this well-known trio has shaped the region’s famous GSM blends and still does today, bringing classic French styles to the modern-day wine lover.
