In a small vintage like 1987, the great wines of Roussillon do well. Impressively fresh and long-lasting, this Côtes-du-Roussillon-Villages cuvée Alter 1987 offers a gamey character, with aromas of undergrowth with a finish with notes of truffle. A ripe and suave wine perfect to accompany red meats or game in sauce.
