Corbières

The work undertaken during our first year at the domain is now beginning to bear fruit. The 2016 vintage was very hot, and very healthy. Our approach to working the soil is based on encouraging the natural expression of the terroir through the grape varieties and the environment. This wine offers a beautiful gleaming purple-red hue. The nose, in a register of red fruit, is refined and elegant with touches of spice. Its remarkable balance in the mouth, in spite of the extremely hot vintage, is at first surprising. Fine notes of menthol and aniseed accompany an agreeable texture, soft tannins, and spices such as white pepper, rosemary and juniper. A clean, forthright wine in which the smoothness of our Grenache is apparent. Enjoyable now, it will continue to mellow and evolve over time.
