The Montecristo L'Esprit wine collection is specially curated by Montecristo from 3 unique grape-growing regions, inspired not only by the world of cigars but also by the vast nature. Count Monte Cristo - a classic character from the pen of the great writer Alexandre Dumas - went through 3 milestones of life's ups and downs: Twilight (Le Crépuscule) - Darkness (La Nuit) - Dawn (L'Aurore), and that is also the journey the collection invites you to explore.
Le Crépuscule is made with Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache grape varieties. The vineyard is located between the Pyrenees mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea, on sandy granite soil in the Agly valley. The grapes grown here inherit the essence of this special land, then are hand-harvested at the ripest moment, selecting only clusters of grapes that meet perfect quality.
Feel the transition of the notes on the palate with hints of licorice and a light touch of flowers. At the end of the journey, you will encounter a refreshing and slightly astringent finish. Le Crépuscule is the perfect choice to enjoy with grilled meats, roasted duck breast, and dry cheese.
