“Thisis the estate’s third consecutive ‘ Favorite ’ award for its Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, which makes for a dynamic pairing here. “Marin” because a lovely, refreshing breeze blows here, tempering the natural power of perfectly ripe fruit. Very luscious, with barely a hint of oak (15% of the blend), the nose enchants with its full-bodied fruit notes of cherry, red berries, and wild berries. Full-bodied, round, and supported by velvety tannins, the palate delivers crisp fruit notes tinged with a delicious hint of vanilla, with freshness and without any lack of structure. Sensual and rich, this beautiful wine offers a delicious balance between ripeness and vigor. The jury bows to such grace!” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

About the estate:
Just a stone’s throw from the city of Carcassonne and the Canal du Midi, the Château de Paretlongue was founded in the 12th century by the canons of Carcassonne on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa, and later passed through the hands of several noble owners. Purchased in 1872 by the Auzias family, wine merchants, it is now run by their descendants, Nathalie and Dominique Auzias, who, following an expansion, now own a single contiguous plot of 160 hectares.
