Oppius is the estate’s flagship wine, dominated by Syrah. Flavorful and elegant, it opens with an intense nose, fragrant with black fruits and chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful and beautifully concentrated, with hints of leather. The tannins are full-bodied, yet the texture is silky. A lovely minty freshness harmoniously enlivens the whole. A truly elegant Minervois!

About the estate:

All that remains of the medieval fortress of the Lords of Oupia are sections of wall—remnants of the outer wall—and a tower. In 1860, Romain Iché purchased the château, which passed to his grandson André in 1970. André undertook the renovation of the estate and the cellar, transforming the property into a benchmark for the Minervois appellation. He passed away in 2007, leaving his life’s work to his daughter, Marie-Pierre.

Review by Mr. ROMAIN F. Published on August 25, 2020

It is at once full-bodied and tannic, yet supple and fresh. A magnificent wine.
