This southern french gem comes from highly reputed cellars in france's sun-soaked midi. This really is 'easy drinking excellence' and a real taste of 'terroir' courtesy of low yielding vines nestled in the foothills of the montagne noir. 50% Of the blend is syrah, 30% grenache and the rest carignan. A superb quality mix (or assemblage)! minervois is the mountainous region between carcassonne and beziers, and is "home to lots of undiscovered gems" (the times) - not surprisingly it has a large devoted following. The winemakers, thierry tesseyre and jean-claude founeau both have considerable experience in other wine regions of france and spain giving their wines a certain international appeal. Deep ruby red, intense berry fruit aromas and well-rounded, juicy cassis flavour with a peppery edge ... Soft enough to drink on its own, enjoy it with cheese and game too. |
