Pech des Cadres Corbières AOP 2022

From the Corbières region, part of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, and its low yielding vines on rocky hillsides, this savoury and yet richly flavoured wine is 60% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 20% Syrah. A dark maroon hue, the wine is very much in the savoury style which is immediately evident on the nose with its warm earth, soy, beef stock, licorice, animal skins and leather notes. There are fine tannins with bright acidity driving the wine. Notes of black fruits and cassis come to the fore on the palate. This will continue to provide pleasure for the next five to eight years.
