With a beautiful intense garnet color, this blend of Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache from hillside vineyards expresses aromas of jammy red fruits. Its supple and concentrated palate is supported by high-quality, yet very rounded tannins. A mouthwatering cuvée, guaranteed pleasure!

About the estate:

All that remains of the medieval fortress of the lords of Oupia are sections of wall, remnants of the enclosure, and a tower. In 1860, Romain Iché bought the castle, which passed to his grandson André in 1970. André undertook to renovate the estate and the cellar, turning the property into a benchmark for the Minervois appellation. He passed away in 2007, leaving his life's work to his daughter Marie-Pierre.
