The 2018 Rasteau Marc has turned out reassuringly better than I projected last year. A blend of 50% Grenache and 25% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, all aged in demi-muids, it boasts cedary overtones to the vibrant purple raspberry aromas, plus hints of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, with ample concentration and a slightly taut feel on the palate, it's a bit edgier than the other offerings at this domaine, with crisp acids and slightly astringent tannins on the finish. It may age longer than the estate's other wines, but I'm not sure it's better.
