Domaine des Garrigues 2005

Description
We've been bringing you outstanding finds from this exciting wine region for decades. Domaine des Garrigues is a classic that combines old vine richness, glory vintage ripeness ? and unbeatable value.

A perfect harvest yielded tiny amounts of concentrated fruit from ancient vines in the Pyrenean foothills. Winemaker Herve Sabardeil's local expertise is crucial - he knows the best sites and picks only the best Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Carignan, all in the cool of the night.

Garrigues refers to the wild thyme, rosemary and lavender found all over this region and reflected in the wine's herbal edge. Deep garnet red with seductive aromas of forest fruits. Rich and brambly with gentle oak and hints of spice. Deliciously versatile - enjoy with ratatouille, hearty stews or simply on its own.
