About Mas de Lunès
“Mas de Lunès was acquired in 1936 by the family-led winery Vignobles Jeanjean. At a time when nobody was interested in these low-yield soils in the middle of the garrigue (scrubland), the Jeanjean family bought in the Languedoc, realizing the terroir’s potential. They were visionaries. The estate has no direct neighbors, so no influence from other vineyards and was certified organic in 2013.”

E6, Hit

TASTING NOTES:
“E6-G is the name of this cuvée, part of the terroir collection, and the label illustrates the geological map of the estate. The blue color makes reference to the sea that once covered the region more than 100 million years ago. This blend of Syrah and Grenache reveals complex aromas of red fruits, spices, and garrigue herbs. The wine is well-balanced and shows great freshness in the mouth.” (AbV 13.5%, 70% Syrah 30% Grenache Noir)

BARRELS:
“50% Barrique French Oak for the Syrah, of which 1/4 new, 3/4 spent bottled at the domaine.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Battleship began as a pen and paper game back in the first World War, but it wasn’t until 1967 that Milton Bradley released a plastic boardgames version. Since then, the board game has become the most well known, with electronic and video game versions generally using its likeness. Then for some reason they made a movie based on the game, but not really? Pretty sure aliens weren’t involved. And then they made a video game for the movie based on the board game, and the video game was a first-person shooter. Because when you think of Battleship, you think of a first-person shooter like Call of Duty.
