fruity

complex

crunchy

“A fairly complex nose of pineapple and gooseberries, ripe peaches and greengages, tarragon, and black cardamom. Plus a creamy note. Full-bodied and bursting with a profusion of fruit ranging from green gooseberry to golden mango. Vibrant fruit; although very dry, it’s cut through by a crisp streak of acidity. A fascinating blend of grape varieties. Don’t serve it too cold; it’s best at cellar temperature, around 14 °C.” (Jancis Robinson) Among the highest-rated wines from the 2020 Languedoc tasting!

Rated estate (2024 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Robert Joyeux balanced his career as an industrialist with the extensive renovation of the property, enabling him to create the Corbières of his dreams—an elegant wine that expresses the complexity and variety of its terroirs. Since 2011, he and his wife Geneviève have devoted themselves full-time to their estate, and their son Hubert has just joined them there to promote this fine wine around the world. The estate has been certified organic since 2013; the grapes are tended to perfection, and gentle extraction, the absence of any crushing, and gravity-fed processing result in wines that are generous yet refined and authentic. The “Inédite” cuvée displays depth and structure, while the “Numéro 1” cuvée—exuberant and full of character—lives up to its name. We were also charmed by the new “La Coume” cuvée, which is lively and fresh. The whites and rosés are delicious.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

La Cendrillon? A hamlet in Ornaisons, at the foot of the Fontfroide massif, an old inn along the Roman road that connected the Narbonnaise region to Aquitaine. A native of the region, entrepreneur Robert Joyeux took over the family estate in 1993 and spared no expense on investments: new plantings and the construction of a wine cellar. Today, 42 hectares have been certified organic since late 2012.
