The 2023 Moulin La Viguerie Posterite 70 is an expressive Southern Rhône red showing blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum alongside violet, dried herbs, garrigue, cracked pepper and subtle earthy spice. The warm Mediterranean character gives the wine generous dark-fruit richness and aromatic depth, while fresh acidity helps maintain balance and energy. Fine mineral and savoury nuances add further detail, giving the wine a layered regional character.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, supple tannins and generous layers of dark and red fruit. Blackberry and black cherry are complemented by ripe plum, dried herbs, garrigue and gentle peppery spice, while subtle earthy and mineral notes develop through the mid-palate. The texture is rounded and polished, with enough tannin to provide shape and support without overpowering the fruit. As the wine opens, savoury herbal notes become more pronounced, adding complexity and length. The finish is dry, persistent and balanced, with lingering dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs, pepper and mineral character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Southern Rhône drinkers who enjoy generous fruit, savoury complexity and an approachable yet structured style. The 2023 vintage is enjoyable in its youth but has enough acidity and tannin to develop further earthy and herbal character with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, Provençal beef daube, duck with olives, grilled pork and fennel sausages, venison with rosemary, or roasted eggplant with tomato, garlic and Mediterranean herbs.
