With its intense garnet color, this Corbières—80% Syrah and 20% Grenache—delivers powerful aromas of black fruits, blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, spices, licorice, and smokiness after 12 months of barrel aging. Full-bodied on the palate, it offers round, velvety tannins and a smooth texture. A full-bodied wine best paired with hearty dishes.

About the estate:
Northwest of Lézignan-Corbières lies a vast estate (180 ha) focused on exports, acquired in 1987 by Anne-Marie and Guilhem Durand. A first in Languedoc-Roussillon. In 2015, it became the first estate in Languedoc to be acquired by a Chinese group, the importer BHC International Wine Assets Management. Located near the Minervois region, the vineyard is situated on an ancient terrace of the Aude River, rich in rounded pebbles.

Review by Mr. VINCENT P. Published on May 29, 2023
Deep red color. A fairly peppery nose with notes of blackberries. Be sure to open it 2 to 3 hours before serving and decant it. Delicious with spit-roasted or glazed partridges...

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/28/2022
A deep red color from which a very strong concentration of aromas of very ripe black fruits, combined with notes of garrigue, emerges. The palate opens with the same powerful and warm intensity, and the same full-bodied, textured vigor, all brought to life by robust yet rounded and silky tannins. The finish is equally exuberant, with a hint of licorice and black pepper. Good aging potential. This masculine wine with a strong personality was enjoyed after being decanted for one hour, paired with caramelized Iberian pork leg, chorizo and red bell pepper cream, and Catalan-style risotto. Rating = 4.
