“A model of harmony and a magnificent expression of the vintage”

“An irresistible charm that earned this vintage the highest rating. The deep color is striking, as is the nose, which unreservedly releases rich aromas of mocha and dark fruits with a hint of mint. Sensual and silky, driven by great freshness and supported by refined tannins, the palate drives the point home with mouth-watering fruit. A model of harmony and a magnificent expression of the vineyard.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

About wine:

Its incredible charm earned this vintage the highest rating. The deep color is striking, as is the nose, which unreservedly exudes rich aromas of mocha and dark fruits with a hint of mint. Sensual and silky, driven by great freshness and supported by refined tannins, the palate drives the point home with mouth-watering fruit. A model of harmony and a magnificent expression of the vineyard.

About the estate:

Well known for his Château Ollieux Romanis, Pierre Bories acquired Champ des Murailles in 2012, a Corbières-Boutenac estate founded by François des Ligneris, former owner of Château Soutard, a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé. Covering some 10 hectares on the western slope of the Pinada massif, this vineyard is characterized by a cooler microclimate than Ch. Ollieux Romanis.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on 10/15/2024

I’m busting the myth. I don’t detect the aroma described on the website—that minty note. On the contrary, I’m getting more of a scent of crushed, mashed, or even stewed fruit, which reminds me of the Brettanomyces in certain wines; it’s as if, in trying too hard to get it right, they’ve distorted this wine and stripped it of its structure.
