Aged in oval-shaped tanks, this blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan exudes the scent of the garrigue and intense black fruit. An intense, full-bodied wine that delivers all the power of the Minervois region, with a juicy palate, silky tannins, and a perfect balance between richness and acidity. A unique harmony that echoes the surrounding garrigue!

About the estate:
Born into a distinguished British family—his father, Anthony Eden, served as a minister under Winston Churchill before succeeding him as Prime Minister—Robert Eden, after working at numerous vineyards around the world, purchased Château Maris in the Minervois region in 1997. This visionary, a staunch advocate of organic and biodynamic farming, built a traditional cellar out of lime and hemp bricks, equipping it with oval vats where the wine matures slowly.

Perfect with a lamb stew after an hour in a decanter. It probably needs a little more time.
