On the palate, this L'Epicurius is beautifully smooth, round, and fruity. Flavors of pomegranate, liquorice, violets, and toasted nuts, with powerful red and black fruit notes (blackcurrants, blackberries, redcurrants). Much like its label, the wine is powerful, expressive, and refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmstramgram L'Epicurius Malbec \u003c\/strong\u003eis delicious with a barbecue, but also very tasty with a Moroccan lamb tagine and grilled vegetables, or with game and stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalmel \u0026amp; Joseph is the winery behind this wine, and they are experimenting with this Amstramgram line. The winery was founded in 1995 and is located in the Languedoc-Roussillon, where they have been producing wonderful wines with a modern twist for years.\u003cbr\u003eThe winery is known for, among others, the immensely popular Villa Blanche wines. This Ams Stram Gram L'Epicurius is slightly less well-known, but at least as delicious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou would sooner expect this blend of Petit Verdot and Malbec in Bordeaux, but the winemakers in the Languedoc know how to handle it too. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted to ensure only the best grapes are used. The wine is then aged for 3 months in 2-year-old oak barrels to further develop its flavors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Languedoc is the largest wine region in France and roughly corresponds to the former \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/languedoc-roussilion\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eLanguedoc-Roussillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e region.
