A terrific example of Corbières terroir at an unbeatable price. The wine, a traditional Rhône-style blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan, is so loaded with aromas and flavors of the surrounding garrigue you might think that they threw in a bouquet garni during maturation. Sage, rosemary,menthol, thyme and bay leaves all abound while rich, dark fruit and oak aging (Élevé en Fûts de Chêne means aged in oak barrels) provides support and structure. Silky texture, approachable tannins and a long finish bring it all together.

Black tarry fruit aromas set the scene for a pungent, powerful, very southern wine. A blend of old-vine Carignan with Syrah, this is hugely intense, with big wood flavors as well as herbal, almost medicinal fruits. This needs time to age, over 5 years, but it is a powerful statement now.
